My MJ works better than I thought it ever would. Caller ID works all the time and with no resistor installed. Maybe it's the type of phone I'm using (Uniden Dect 6.0) with two handsets.

Anyway, one thing I have found is if my virus protection is running a scan, usually I'm unable to make a call since the virus pgm is using most of my memory and MJ needs more memory while making a call. So, whenever I know I'm going to be making a call, I just abort the scan if it is running. My CPU is usually maxed out when the virus pgm is running as well which appears to affect MJ not being able to call out. After stopping the scan, MJ calls out each and every time with no issues.

My puter is about 5 years old:
Fujitsu C Series Lifebook
XP Home Edition
V 2002
SP 2
Pentium 4 CPU 2.60Ghz
736 MB RAM

So, as a tip to others, if your having probs making calls, you might check to see if your system is running other apps such as a virus scan and shut those pgms down before trying to make a call.
