My interest is in eliminating my home phone line, but if I have to keep a PC turned on all the time, that must be part of the math.
No, it doesn't include the cost of a PC 24/7, but to be honest, I never calculated the cost of MJ for a real landline replacement, the way I see it, it's more a replacement for Skype or a Vonage softphone for travelers. As much as I like MJ, I don't think I'd ever replace my home VOIP service with it.
