If you don't want your pc up all the time look into getting a thin client to use your MJ with. The only other option is to forward your calls to another number before you turn your pc off.

All i have is magicjack and A google Voice which google voice is mostly for texting. I was thinking of getting older computer or server to use if that would work.. just have to see where i can get them at and how much.

Check ebay http://shop.ebay.com/?_from=R40&_trksid ... Categories plenty of thin clients available. I would recommend getting only the 512/512 units and higher. Anything else and you will have to get creative in order to get MJ to work problem free. Also check craigslist in your area there's always someone selling an old PC for a decent price.

Nahhhhhhhhhhhhhh not stupid..... You just didn't realize MJ needs an OS to run.. TRUST ME you are not the only one to have asked if they can use the USB port on the back of their router without the PC on. That's what this forum is for, to inform...
