Thank you very much for your post. I did not realize that USB was not supported in wine. Magicjack uses SIP but requires CPU power to run you cannot use it on a router it has to be plugged into a computer with a supported O/S That said thank you again and anyone reading this there is a deal on Voip http://www.phonepower.com/services/voip/products.aspx That I am considering its 8.33 a month if I can scrape up 200 bucks at one time. The diffrence 1.70 Magicjack and 8.33 Phonepower is 6.63 ............. I think linux might be worth it. At least bill wont get it LOL anybody have any other deals on Voip? Thanks!
