iMac won't boot if MJ is not plugged in

I've had my current MJ for almost 2 years now with very little trouble. I use it primarily at home connected to my 2008 iMac via a powered USB hub.

I tried contacting the online chat again and made it to level 2 but was still unsuccessful in convincing them I had a hardware problem. They also didn't like hearing that i tested the ringer using the TigerJet SDK. Ultimately, I gave up and followed your advice of emailing Dan the man. I received an ...

Thanks for all of your help. The USB hub I am using does have a 5v ac adapter. I downloaded the SDK and killed the MJ from the task manager. The SDK ring test failed as well.

I took a surface mount phone jack and wired it up using one of the spare phone cords I had. I cut it in half, stripped the wires, and wired it up. I plugged it in to ...

everything works great...except for the ring

I have just finished my second week of using the MJ. I have to say that, overall, i am very happy with it. The calls are clear, the incoming CID works, the softphone recognizes the dialed numbers from most of the phones I have tried, etc... My only complaint is that I can't get any phone to ring on ...
