No. (I still have some old 14.4 modems--haven't used them in 15 years, except for the occasional FAX.)

Interestingly, the magicJack site says that magicJack-to-magicJack calls *may* work over dial-up, though I'm sure they're talking about 56k. Back in the 90's I actually used VoIP, briefly, with dial-up (just to play around with it). It did work... badly, but it did work. I wouldn't recommend it; when you're thinking VoIP, think broadband.

Without reading the entire MagicJack website I'm hoping for quick direction from MagicJack users; My elderly parents who cannot get broadband service would like to look into getting MagicJack. They only have access to a VERY slow dialup line (14 kps). Will MagicJack be good for them?
