      Recently, it's been reported that analog modem over MagicJack has been working       for some people. I just wanted to chip in my own two cents: if you're thinking       of purchasing, your experience may vary.              I'm using Time Warner Cable Roadrunner in Southeast Texas. I have a USB       MagicJack plugged into an XP box with no processor load, lots of free memory,       which is connected via ethernet directly into a router.              I tried dialing four different systems. Initially, I got a decent 28.8       connection, but then it retrained annoyingly a few times before dropping       carrier. Not useful at all. It pretty much got worse from there, never       finding a good carrier.               I tried forcing 14400, 9600, all the way to 300. I didn't bother with less. I       tried various modulation standards, limiting the retraining speeds, and I tried       giving my ethernet port the highest priority on the router.              Eventually I plan on buying a Magicjack Plus and trying that. I just don't       know if my latency here is the issue, or if it's going through a USB port on       this particular system that's causing the latency; in any case, I thought I'd       put this out there for anyone else giving it a go and running into problems;       you're not the only one. :P       --- SBBSecho 2.12-Win32        * Origin: Southeast Texas BBS (1:393/31)    |
