   I have not tried that because my thoughts are unless you are running a dual or   
   quad core processor on an OS that suooprts using all the cores and lots of   
   memory is that you would slow the PC down so much that it would be very slow   
   connect rates. In other words the magic jack would be using omputer resources   
   to get the incoming call then the modem would use more of the computer   
   resources to process the data then the software reciving the data would also   
   be using resources where as using a network capable magic jack you are using   
   less of the computers resources.
