 Posted: Sat Apr 17, 2010 1:29 pm Post subject: So No It Is likely To Work? |
 |
|
Was considering using MJ but it seems it is not likely enough to work for my situation to be worth spending money on it. My main OS is Linux but I see where updates seem to have broke Twinkle and most softphone software doesn't work.
I see no mention in the forum of it working in Wine.
I could run VirtualBox but but the newest version of Windows I have is Win2K and the hack for Win2K from what I read no longer works.
So is that about it or am I missing some way to get it to work till the vaporware Linux drivers finally show up? |

There are ways to get MJ to work. You can consider getting a thin client to run MJ or you can get your sip credentials and run MJ with an ata using mjmd5. Being your familiar with linux may make using an ata a fun project. |

If you extract your credentials and run MJMD5 proxy then you can use any softphone with it. Information on this can be found here on the forum.

| Thanks for the reply. Knew of the thin client but I'm going dry loop to save money so I really didn't consider it an option. The others suggestions I missed. I have some more research to do. |

I have a all my computers at home running Linux. I use a 5710 thin client for magicjack.
I'm not sure what you mean by a thin client not being an option if you dry loop. It has everything you need, it's running XP, coonnect it to your router and you're all set. |

I meant spending money on hardware would off set money saved by going to dry loop. Checking Ebay I can probably buy a copy of XP for less then a thin server and just put it on a computer I already have but thank you for the reply. |

Actually, XPe is free for thin clients and you save every month on the electric bill by running a thin client over a desktop. Over the course of just a year, the electric savings far outweigh any savings you would have gained by running a free Linux distro. (and I also run Linux on many of my machines.) |
