Magicjack minimum hardware and OS requirements
has anyone tried using the magicjack on an old P2 machine running win98? Will this work? I have an old Dell P2 (not using) with win 98 and would like to use this as a dedicated machine for MJ. I see on their website that win xp is the minimum requirement. Is it possible to run win xp sp2/3 on a P2?

Don't know if it would work with win98; as for XP/SP2 and MJ on a P2, see my comments in this thread -- minimum system requirements ... Hope that helps ...ktg wrote:has anyone tried using the magicjack on an old P2 machine running win98? [...] Is it possible to run win xp sp2/3 on a P2?

other windows versions
i too had the same question, so I plugged the MJ into a windows 2000 system and it bitched at me. Ya gotta have xp or better. Correct me if i'm wrong...
my old dell P2 now is up and running with windows XP and MJ.I thought that this computer was useless and was about to throw it in the garbage. I was told that it could not be installed with XP. It is slow though but it works and it took me quite sometime to transfer my xp license from my old busted laptop.
Cool! -- glad to be of help.ktg wrote:my old dell P2 now is up and running with windows XP and MJ.
Naah, don't do that.ktg wrote:I thought that this computer was useless and was about to throw it in the garbage.
I'm a little shocked at just how much my P2 is still good for. If you already have a decent-sized hard drive in it, or don't but can get one without too much cost and effort, here's an idea. I've got a 60 GB HD in mine, with the empty space exported so that it's the Z drive on my primary PC. Voila -- a repository for backups.The signup page says I need to put a sig here.

Works on Windows 2003 Server
I am a Software geek and I use Windows 2003 Server, i had read in several posts that it works only in Windows XP and Vista but this works fine in Windows 2003 Server, had no issues till date.
