Re: MagicJack used with dialup service?

Yes, I remember early 90's internet phone, I too dabbled with it and found that it worked, albeit choppy. Upstate NY (mountain regions) don't get DSL or Cable, so my parents are able to use their internet for basically email and long bouts of meditation while watching the CNN page download.

On 14.4? No. (I still have some old 14.4 modems--haven't used them in 15 years, except for the occasional FAX.)

Interestingly, the magicJack site says that magicJack-to-magicJack calls *may* work over dial-up, though I'm sure they're talking about 56k. Back in the 90's I actually used VoIP, briefly, with dial-up (just to play around with it). It did work... badly, but it did work. I wouldn't recommend it; when you're thinking VoIP, think broadband.
