Successful --> MagicJack on DT366 with XP embedded (with broken touch screen)
Posted: Tue Jun 15, 2010 5:05 pm
I got a DT366 with broken touch screen but has XP embedded pre-installed. Since the touch screen is broken , I'm wondering what I can use it for for a few days.
Here is what I did:
1. I bought a new MagicJack for $30 on ebay and register an account with my laptop(since the touch screen of DT366 is broken, otherwise I think I can do it in DT366 as well);
2. Make sure the DT366 is running XP embedded and is connected to internet already;
3. Plug the MagicJack (with extension cable) into DT366 USB port. Wait 5 minutes when Magic Jack do the installation automatically.
4. Plug a phone into the rj-11 jack of MJ and make phone calls.
That's it. I can use my phone to make unlimited phone calls across USA&Canada without touching the DT366.
Good thing for me is I can reuse this DT366 with broken touch screen as a dedicated low-power appliance which run Magic Jack.
If you have DT366 with XPe (or XP) running and you own a MagicJack in same time, give it a shot.
