Polygamy for magicJacks?

Post by flybeech »

I'm sure this has been discussed before, but I'll ask anyway. Is there a way to patch magicJack for polygamy, allowing two, or more lines on one computer? Even better, as a multi-line service with all the cool stuff, like magicBlock and Stroth's sweet little program on a hot, little thin client??

For example, MSN Messenger can be "patched" to allow polygamy, or running multiple accounts at the same time. Why couldn't mJ be patched in a similar way? I suppose the easy way out will just be a thin client for each mJ, but wouldn't it be cool to run two or more mJ accounts on one box? Why couldn't this be done? Is it impossible?

You can run multiple MJ accounts on one box using the SIP info. The problem is running multiple MJ adapters on one box as they are designed to run one dongle per box.

You could run different softphones with the SIP info or you could set up an Asterisk solution like Trixbox. There is a detailed thread here on the forum about setting up Trixbox.

The main problem is that you have to be Mormon and live in Utah to get polygamy working correctly in most cases.

This is, of course, not true. Any true Mormon will tell you that keeping one wife happy is an ordeal in itself; more than one is just asking for trouble. :wink:
