I have a very strong internet feed and I purchased Magic Jack as a joke as I
did not think it would work after I tried a couple of others but I have a USR
HST modem dialing and answering just fine at 9600 baud via analog via VOIP.  I
had to play with com port settings and others but on a Windows 7 machine, it
dials my uplink and downloads to my downlinks just fine with a minor hickup or
two now and then.  It does just redial and off it goes.

Of course for my main feed I use BinkP but wanted to see if I could get the old
setup to work.  May not work for a BBS but for a mailer it gets by.
