I [...] just stuck with Skype who now BTW offers international SIP
services, so I also hooked up Skype + Asterisk. This means you can
purchase Skype phone # and attach it to your Asterisk and
everything in FBSD. No Windoze crappy software.
Alejandro, how time labour intensive is to set up Asterisk on a
daily use laptop? Could Asterisk not be used by itself for all VoIP
needs per my superficial Asterisk understanding?
Was setting up Asterisk as simple as installing
/usr/ports/net/asterisk-bristuff or /usr/ports/net/asterisk1{2,6}?

Ok, if you don't need dialplans, voicemails, and several extensions,
you don't need asterisk. Just install Skype client on FBSD (you will
need linux emulation to get the Skype client going), and purchase an
actual phone number with your area code from Skype, and some pre-paid
credit. That's it you will be receiving/making call from skype on
FBSD in no time.
Regardiong Asterisk it's actually very easy and without any prior
knowledge I was able in just about 4 days to make a complete
soft-phone based telephone system with 10 ekiga extensions, automated
menu (ivr) and the works (voice mail that is routed via e-mail) - the
works - just by installing from port and reading the free asterisk
book pdf you can download from many places (yes, the book is actually
free as in beer).

Just read the book.

Yeap!

Magic Jack VOIP telephone
Good afternoon, FreeBSD enthusiasts. Have any of you attempted to use Magic Jack VOIP telephone with an Intel workstation equipped with FreeBSD operating system? It is supposed to work with Mac OSX, which I understand to be similar to FreeBSD, but I do not know if it is sufficiently similar. Would appreciate a response from anyone who has attempted such a use, whether successful, or unsuccessful. Thank you.

The dongle is just an a/d conerter to plug-in a regular phone, the rest is pure software. I had to throow 2 away because of lack of Linux support and just stuck with Skype who now BTW offers international SIP services, so I also hooked up Skype + Asterisk.
