ooma, linux and Magic jack differences

I have been reading about the minimum requirements my pc should have in order to run MJ smoothly. But I was reading about the OOMA phone system and it is based on a linux computer. I figure it's probably a low end processor with little memory. How is it that OOma can run ok but we have problems with MJ if we aren't very careful running programs at the same time as a call? what would be the difference?

I guess for openers, I'd ask how many non-telephony tasks can you run on your OOMA?

OTC

I don't like or own an OOMA system, I'm just trying to learn about the different systems that are out there. VOIP is definitely the future and PTSN will be obsolete. But back to my original question, anyone have a thought, thanks.

If you don't own Ooma, then how can you dislike it. I have Ooma now for ten months. Not one problem and great voice quality.

Going by a review, OOMa give an anoying dial tone for starters. Second, i don't want to pay $250 bucks for a system that was out for six hours. Third, I think it will be out of business very soon. But back to my original question...

My Verizon line was out for 19 hours in February of 2008. It wasn't just my line, the whole neighborhood was out. There is no perfect solution when technology is involved.

Make sure you got a LARGE space to put this .. I had ooma for
1 month and they NEVER could get QOS right and I hve 3000/1000

To me the BIG mistake ooma made was not making a small
hole in the back so you could hang it up on a wall .. it takes
up a LOT of room on a desk

Tech support good ..

I got mine on sale at Costco with 6 months of perm thrown in and
I still returned it ..
Think it was 200.00

Between MJ and Skype out I was hoping this would be better
