If I can't get magic jack to run on a Mac G5 PowerPC I'm going to be in for a world of pain. I've spent hours already combing Google and various forums, and am aware that it's only supported for Windows Vista/XP and Intel Mac. Someone please help me - is there any kind of software I can run, any kind of trick I can do whatsoever? I'm at the end of my rope here. Any response will be appreciated.

What more would you like to know, how to turn lead into gold????

Get yourself an ATA and borrow a friend's XP machine to ascertain your sip credentials. Certainly a more fruitful path than your current odyssey....

Thanks for keeping it real. I have zero experience with ATA devices but I've started looking into them. Do you have any suggestions, particularly for the razor-thin budget crowd?

CAVEAT: USING AN ATA is AGAINST MJ TOS!!!! FWIW

The modt widely available and best supported is Linksys PAP2-NA. Beware of locked versions and Honk Kong sellers on Ebay!!!

Good luck

I'm with crackerjack on this. Why, oh why do people try to do something that isn't supported, or impossible, and then cry foul?

Ugh.
