speaking of MagicJack... does it work with modems if we use it for
pots lines?

If you lucky to get it to connect it will last at most 1.5 minutes.
That is the longest I held a connection. Faxing I have better results
forcing the baud to 9600. For modem I had the setting down to 2400 with
error correcting off.

I have fios digital voice ane both my modems work fine without any
issue. Actually get better connections with the digital. At least my
experience with the digital voice.

Hi Nathan!

speaking of MagicJack... does it work with modems if we use it
for pots lines?

First of all, I have no personal experience with any of these but have considered them on and off.

MagicJack seems to have either great reviews or bad. Not sure if it
depends on the connection, the location, or what.

"Oono" -- something like that. Apparently worse than Magicjack.

NetTalk (there's an old version and a new version). Reviews indicate it
is reasonable but a somewhat expensive starter price. (IIRC something
like $75 for the first year but that includes the hardware and a year of service.)


If you have a landline currently and plan to keep it you might want to consider either a "teenager line" or an add-on line dedicated to the
computer. The latter is what I did here years ago when I did dial-up.
The second line was run to the Computer Room (I used the second pair in
the existing wiring -- remember to switch it to "Line 1" at your
destination! [The primary/original/voice line currently in place was
"Line 2" at the Computer Room so I could answer phone calls [I purchased
a 2-line Speakerphone). You can make the "occasional" phone call (also
Long Distance) on the Data Line, just if you use it too much as a voice
line they will start charging different rates. (I had asked about the
voice usage when selecting the option; I never had a problem with to
much voice usage.)

HTH.

should. it works about 85% of the time for faxing so I would think it would do ok with a modem.
