Actually I get a steady stream of MJ traffic to my blog for a most unexpected reason. There is an unofficial MJ forum. On that forum there is a bunch of information about adapting the HP T5700 series thin clients to achieve a dedicated host for MJ. That way people can keep their MJ operational without leaving their PC on all the time. I wrote a series of posts about using T5700s for a variety of tasks, and the MJ forum points to those posts. The people on the forums have come up with hacks to the XPe OS to insert the MJ drivers and other utilities. There's even one guy selling mod'ed thin clients for those who lack the DIY desire or skills. Her'sa link: http://unofficialmagicjack.forum2u.org/hp-thin-client-modifications-upgr ades-for-magicjack-t1493.html It's a pretty cool example of a community springing up around a service.
