[mickeyboa]

Does anyone have Magic Jack working with Linux ??

I tried once on wine - no go.

Well lets hope MagicJack lives up to there promise and gets it working in Linux.

It works fine in linux you just have to run it either in a windows VM or you can install twinkle and use the MJ as a sound device and plug a phone into it.

Hi guys!! recently I was speaking with the Costumer Service of magicjack asking for a driver to linux.

and they said to me, that the engineers are preparing a driver for linux. I think is good idea if all we pressed them a little bit.

by the way i am making a new forum called LinuxMission, the purpose is to ask to each manufacturing of hardware, that understands that the linux community is growing fast ,and they should begin to think about drivers for linux and not only for mac's.

XLite for linux is a pain. Twinkle's much easier.

The Linux community has done a fantastic job providing high quality drivers in the absence of manufacturer support. I see this as a good thing, the manufacturers at best would only give us garbage, like what they turn out in Redmond, WA.

Could you give a walkthrough of the settings? I successfully configured Ekiga 3.0.1 (although outgoing calls don't work for some reason) but I can't even get Twinkle to register. (I was able to get Twinkle to register with ekiga.net, but the magicJack settings are harder.)

Edit: Never mind, I found you did it already:

I never would have guessed some of the settings, but it works for both incoming and outgoing calls now. Thanks for the writeup.
