Re: Anyone using Magic Jack with Windows Server 2003?

Thanks for the info on ooma - looks a lot better than MJ. From the
research I did so far MJ doesn't really fit the bill (ie. you get what
you pay for).

ooma seems expensive up front but would easily recover the cost of an at&t
land line in one year, or two years from my local cable landline offering.


The issue I have is that before we dumped our landline, we got maybe two
calls/month (election season excluded), and it was really hard to justify
spending any bucks on a landline - but this past week I managed to disable
the ringer on my cell phone and missed an important phone call - and if I
still had a landline I probably wouldn't have missed that call. As a
result we are revisiting the idea of reviving the landline, but really
don't want to use a telco for maybe one/two calls per year - especially
when we have unlimited local and long distance with our cell provider.

ooma sounds like a good suggestion for a combined Christmas present from
the kids!

But I couldn't find (on the ooma website) anything that indicated whether
the device needs to run between my cable modem and router or if it should
be behind the router (ie can it run from a port off the router)? And it
didn't indicate that a power supply was needed - should I assume there is
a wall wart somewhere in the mix?
