No for fax....yes for multiple jacks with one computer...you could install a virtual machine...but what are you trying to do exactly?jc2020 wrote:Anyone tried to fax using magig Jack?

Re: Magic Jack Faxing
I have tried faxing, and it works. Just needed to adjust my fax sending to the lowest transmission rate.jc2020 wrote:Anyone tried to fax using magig Jack?

As far as multiple - it's not supposed to be able to do this. You can have multiple MJs behind a router or on a network but not on the same computer.
On the original forums before they were closed someone posted a message that described a procedure for running more than one magicjack on the same computer. I don't remember everything but it had to do with running each magicjack as a service under a different logon account and handling some related problems that might crop up from running multiple instances of the targetjet phone drivers. Might have to install them more than once under different hardware names somehow. Something like that.
A procedure only for the dedicated and knowledgeable types who don't mind doing trial and error to make it work.

I can see how that might work. Maybe under different user accounts, it could work. Hmmm might have to get it a try.garybritt wrote:On the original forums before they were closed someone posted a message that described a procedure for running more than one magicjack on the same computer.

Re: Magic Jack Faxing
Talking about using multiple MJ's. You can't (well not easily...) use multiple MJs on the same computer. You can use multiple MJs on different computers but the same cable modem/internet connection if you're using a router, which if you had multiple pc's running & connected to the internet then you probably already have a router in place. So it's a moot point.jc2020 wrote: But what do u mean by behind a router or a hub?

Just so it's in plain-speak:
1 MagicJack for each computer connected to the internet (yes I know there might ways to get multiple jacks running but not by using the standard install methods)
--------------
Maybe that should be a campain slogan for a politician - instead of the old "a chicken in every pot" "A MagicJack on Every Computer"
I can periodically get a fax to send using MJ. On the other hand, I can consistantly send perfect faxes over my other VOIP system, Phone Power, using either my Brother all-in-one printer/fax or my computer's fax modem. I can't receive faxes on either line so I use a free service from www.k7.net to get my inbound faxes received via email as TIF files.

Magic Jack Faxing
I have had a 75% success rate with faxing with Magic jack. I have a Brother 575 Fax machine. I do the following to get mine to work: 1) I change the compatibility mode to basic 2) I put a DSL line filter on the Magic Jack 3) I turned the overseas mode to "ON".
Faxing via the dongle is hit and miss. You will have to set your speed settngs to 9600 bps or slower to be reliable. Utilising on an ATA which supports T.38 Fax Relay makes it a little bit reliable over VoIP and I receive an average of 5 faxes a day without too much issues. Making sure that you deactivate call waiting before sending helps alot...
That's my quarter's worth, but not enough to call someone who really cares at a pay telephone booth...
Magic Jack, routers & faxes
Hi, I'm considering purchasing 2 MJ's. I need certainty on the subjects of routers & faxes before I jump in and buy them. Would I need to get a particular brand of router to accommodate Computer #2 and the fax machine? If any router is likely to work, I'll go for the cheapie at Wal Mart. Thanks!
P.S. I'm delighted to see this unofficial site, as I probably would pass on the whole idea, with their customer "no service" reputation. Thank you all very much!

Yes. All you do is when the magic jack is plugged in and running. Take a regular phone cord from the phone your using and plug it in the back of your computor or where you have a phone jack on the computor. I used the microsoft fax with windows, under accerrories, communication then click on fax. Works great.
Also you only need one MJ program to run two MJ's Just not at the same time.
