      I figured id go out and get a majic jack and try it out, from what ive read it auto installs software on your machine. Im assuming you have to have a supported os. Has anyone routed majic jack to pfsense?

      Stupid question, but why not ask…..

        No official BSD support, some have reported to get it working in Linux, but yes the MajicJack uses proprietary software to connect and use. You'd need a lot of tinkering or Windows to connect. Maybe a Virtual instance of win, 2k or XP would do it.

        Oh something else I just thought of, there is a FreeSwitch add on to PFSense that would five you a configurable VoIp PBX, if you used that with a SIP account, that could work, also FreeSwitch works with FXO/FXS gateways to bring in or out your PTSN. I've used it a few times, don't know why that didn't kick in until now.
