RE: Magic Jack
Doog: Have her ask her Comunications section if it would work first. (Your Comm folks over here at CONUS should know too)
If she is going to plug it into one a military computer, it goes through so many filters (especially over at the CENTCOM AOR) that it might be a moot point. Remember they resttrict access to a lot of websites/ web services over there, and they are cracking down on USB devices lately (at least in the USAF side of the house)
However, I think on some systems over there VOIP is allowed (like SKYPE) so it might work. If it does work it would be a GREAT idea.

RE: Magic Jack
I have had it for about a year....works GREAT! No issues yet...started out with some static but that was my system not the jack...you need broadband and an open USB port...also your PC will need to be on for it to operate. Otherwise a great buy! I paid 39.95 for the first five years....not sure if they have that same deal but my phone is paid for the next 4 years....
