Does anyone have any direct experience running MagicJack (or another |
| 2 |
similar product that's available in the U.S. on a Gentoo machine, |
| 3 |
preferably a Power PC based machine as that's the only 24/7 machine I |
| 4 |
have here right now. I didn't find anything about MagicJack in the |
| 5 |
forums. |

The MagicJack site says they will add Linux support 1st quarter 2010 |
| 8 |
but they haven't released anything yet. Is there anything in portage |
| 9 |
that supports this? I could use windows to register the device and |
| 10 |
then run it from elsewhere on the network. |

Looking around on the web it seems most folks have set up VMWare or |
| 13 |
some other VM as a way to just run Windows. My only 24/7 machine right |
| 14 |
now is actually PPC-based so that's not going to work for me. |

|
| 16 |
Even better might be some sort of Ethernet to USB adapter that would |
| 17 |
allow me to plug it directly into an unused port on my router and skip |
| 18 |
all the PCs completely but I talked to MagicJack said the device |
| 19 |
requires drivers on both Mac and Windows. |

I haven't studied Skype's offerings yet as I was looking for something |
| 22 |
turn-key and I'm not sure that's true with them, but I'll go find out. |
