Hello All. <> ML> My system dial-up line is changing to (256)886-7616 effective ML> Wednesday 01 January 2014 I'm happy to report that MagicJack Plus works like a champ in place of a genuine POTS line. The modem likes it and I routinely see 31.2 connects, save 2 folks in my region that have had modem or line problems for a long time now, and continue to do so. At about $30/year (plus the inital $67 investement for the equipment and 6 months of calling) for unlimited calling with NO long distance charges, it sure as heck beats the pants off of either the cable company's $30/month (also with unlimited continental US calling) or ~$28/month PLUS LD charges for Telco lines. A solid broadband connection is required, but once programed from your PC, a PC is *not* required for continued use - it comes with it own tiny power supply adapter. This works far better, from what I'm given to understand, than the original MagicJack setup. YMMV. Best regards, Marc ..
