Well I drew a diagram following what you described so it SOUNDS like you’ve got a logical setup.

And I’ll be honest I’m not really a Verizon user so I don’t know what you can/can’t do on their service, or what their modem allows/restricts in terms of blocking certain kinds of data.

BUT, if I were in your shoes I’d start ruling things out.
-I’d first get the free version of NetLimiter or any tool that shows how much bandwidth is using by various things on your computer and make sure that while I was trying to fax nothing else was using my bandwidth. But FIRST find out exactly how much download AND upload speed you actually have (not what they told you, but what you actually have in real life) by going to one of the online speedtest. Just type “test my dsl speed” in google.

-Next Id try to use the computer fax to see if I could just fax out (minus the Dell)

-Then I’d take the Dell to somebody’s place with a traditional dial tone (minus the MJ and your Dry Loop)

-While at that location I’d also try MJ (if they have internet), if that worked I’d then connect the Dell to the mix (in this case we’re minus your Dry Loop again but trying the MJ and the Dell)

-And then I’d try to borrow somebody’s fax and try it with your regular setup, so in this case it’s minus the Dell.

So I think you get the idea, after making sure you’ve got bandwidth it just becomes a process of ruling elements out.

I do have a hotmail account myself, but I have to tell my wife and kids to get one as well.

Good luck with the fax. Yeah when I read other people’s NEGATIVE advice I take it with a grain of salt and if I WANT to do something I’ll still try myself. And then if I can’t get something to work THEN I look to see if anybody has been able to do the that thing. So you might need to do some testing…

In terms of your whole house situation, that would be a perfect example of when you should go to get some outside help. This is a perfect example when a person needs to hear many “voices.” Because there are so many variables. For example, are you using a plain splitter or one of the att dsl filters that look like a splitter, are you using wired house phones or wireless, are those wireless phones analog or digital, is the phone connection still connected at the NID box outside your house. Please don’t answer those questions, those or just examples of why it’s kind of impossible for a one person blog to resolve that and you need to read other people’s experiences at a forum.

Here are some samples; ehow has a magicjack section
I think typing “magicjack forum” into google will also bring up some
But the oldest collection of information is probably at dslreports.com

Lastly in our last exchange a week ago I believe I did mentioned the “DSL only” account would be a new account that starts with “081″ and not the same as your dsl and phone account. So you do need to register online to pay your bills with the new email/login information of your new account. In other words, you can probably still use the old email and even login into your bills with that email but that is NOT your current (new) bills. You should also call att and ask them how long your old email will remain usable. It might be forever and it might not. You can read this article I wrote
Pay Bills Online For ATT – DSL Only Dry Loop Accounts

Please, going forward, never never never use your ISP email as your personal email. Because if you change ISP then you loose your email. Always get a free email account that’s dependable. Like yahoo or better yet gmail. In fact you can even control your att email from gmail, so I suggest you sign up and start gradually telling people to start using the new email.
