Now that I've got MJMD5 working on my Tomato flashed Linksys WRT54GL router, I thought I'd consolidate all of the information I found in this forum and from PMs to help other newb's.

Thanks to jeffnyc, qwer1304, and Taken83oveR's post on the following thread for guiding me- http://www.magicjacksupport.com/ddwrt-version-of-mjmd5-t6913.html

Since I was totally new to this, it took me about 6 hours to figure everything out. The biggest hurdle being I am not familiar with linux commands that were available once telneted to my router. The following link lists all commands available for Busy Box which is what my router uses and is an excellent resource - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BusyBox

Summary of steps that need to be completed:
1. Enable jffs in Tomato via the Administration section
2. Enable ssh in Tomato via the Administration section
3. Install putty on PC (download the 'Windows installer for everything except PuTTYtel' version)
4. Download the Tomato version of mjproxy from teddy_b's post
5. Upload mjproxy to Tomato (jffs) with putty using Windows command prompt with -scp option
6. Telnet into your router via putty (login as 'root' and enter Tomato password)
7. Execute the following command while connected to your router via putty - 'Chmod mjproxy to 755'
8. Put command line in Tomato Administration/Scripts/Init tab
9. Change the proxy IP in your ATA Line 1 tab to that of your Tomato router
10. Verify that mjproxy is working using the top command

Detailed instructions with screenshots below:

1. Enable jffs in Tomato via the Administration section
I also clicked the 'Format/Erase' button so that I have a clean slate to work with.
I wasn't worried about deleting anything since I just enabled it.

2. Enable ssh in Tomato via the Administration section

3. Install putty on PC (download the 'Windows installer for everything except PuTTYtel' version)
Link to PuTTY download page-
http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html

4. Download the Tomato version of mjproxy from teddy_b's post
Extract mjproxy to Program Files/Putty folder.
NOTE: I needed to unzip the file twice.

Very good detailed writeup. Had another user PM me asking how I did it and my instructions to him were a bit vague. Glad you took the time to do it in detail. Been working fine for me for almost a week.

Oki, this is the perfact guide i have came across ever. For some reason with DD-wrt even after enabling JFFS2, I was unable to put mjproxy file in there. That made me switch to TOMATO and now i Absolutely love it. I am not familiar with linux either so i just simply followed wut you did and it all worked. Now only if I can figure ( AGAIN ) what my password for MJ is. In my router it shows as asterisk. do you know how to reveal it? i tried different softs for it but no go. otherwise i will go thru getting the password from dumped memory all over again. anyways Thank you and Two Thumbs UP for that perfact guide.

Try Stroths utility. Works for everyone who read the directions.

nakamoniel-
I second OTC's recommendation since I use Stroths utility to get my MJ SIP information.

Below is a link to Stroths post which has with a link to download his utility-

Thanks noetic1. Are you able to take the ATA out of network?

#5Upload mjproxy to Tomato (jffs) with putty using Windows command prompt with -scp option
Open a Windows command window (via Start/Run/Cmd) and navigate to the putty directory. Notice in the screenshot below I executed the command from the following directory- C:\Program Files\PuTTY
Then type in the following command-
"pscp -scp mjproxy root@192.168.1.1:/jffs" (assuming 192.168.1.1 is your router IP)

HELP im having trouble with step 5 Crying or Very sad

what ever i enter into CMD thingy it says ts not recognised as an internal or external command or operable program or batch file.. i know it has something to do with pscp file on that puTTY thingy can someone help me plz Crying or Very sad

maybe you can do it with remote desktop connection on messenger or something anyways I got DDWRT version working perfectly but everyone says tomato firmware is best

So i got hold of my password from password retriever, I have Innomedia MTA6238Re. I entered the password there. Now after i connect this ATA, i still see as not registered, when i run top i cannot find mjproxy running?What is missing.

# mjproxy listen-ip|0.0.0.0 5070 proxy01.dallas.talk4free.com 5070 mypassword
-sh: 0.0.0.0: not found

I'ved followed everything and it is perfectly laid out. However, I am a noob at this and cannot figure out how to get my Linsys pap2t to work with this.
The last step is to log into the ata and confirm that is is on line.
I think this is the crucial step I am missing and cannot figure out.
I assume with mjproxy i no longer need to have magic jack plugged into the cpu. but without it in I dont get a dial tone.
Can someone steer me in the right direction
Thanks
