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.

Later,
Bill
