It is in the pipeline you can use it in the closed source virtualbox as it has USB support and you will be able to use the device. You will need a valid XP license and install media for this as well as enough resources to run the virtualised system.

You could check out the magicjack forum in this link as well as read what the magicjack dude has to say:

You might check these out, but your changes of getting the device to work natively on a Linux-based operating system are still probably rather slim:

Can you help with this problem?
