HI jamesb7a, So far, so good. Yes, Google Voice is free to call anywhere in the USA, Canada, Mexico?, perhaps some other places and with low international rates as well. If anyone you call also has a Google Voice phone number then that is free too, no matter where in the world they may be. You did i...

I have not had service with them for years though, although it always worke...

Hi jamesb7a, You are welcome... Okay, so you have the older MagicJack because the newer MagicJack Plus does have the Ethernet port jack and would not require any computer operating system to function. But, from what I just read it would cost $35 to get a newer MagicJack Plus which IMHO would be bett...

Hi jamesb7a, This computer with 7.5 gb of system memory (ram) can run virtualbox and windows, read the link on that. It doesn't have to be that fast for running MagicJack.

Hi tovian,

+1 for using the excellent "KeePassXC" everywhere. I have it installed using their PPA which also has deb files and I have downloaded and tried their AppImage file which also works great.

HI jamesb7a, Ok, where to start regarding your post... 1.) Leave Linux Mint on both machines.
