Thank for your fast answare in mead time I found this instructions but do not understand much the red letters

Successfully setup Ubuntu Linux +
VMWare + XP + MagicJack

I was using a dedicated XP box for
MagicJack and I have a 24x7 server running ubuntu so I decided to
give it a try and was able to move MagicJack to my Ubuntu box
successfully.

Here are what I did, hope it will help others
like me who don't want a dedicated XP running just for MagicJack.

I
started with an existing Ubuntu server install that does not have
GUI.

Install GUI and VNC: 
Downsize the system:
-
sudo vi
/etc/default/linux-restricted-modules-common:
DISABLED_MODULES="ath_hal
fc fglrx ltm nv"

Install the X11 bare bone:
- sudo
aptitude install x-window-system-core
- sudo aptitude install
xorg
- sudo aptitude install fluxbox fluxconf #lightwight windows
manager
- sudo aptitude install dillo #lightweight browser
-
sudo aptitude install xfe #lightweight file manager

Change
/etc/X11/xorg.conf:
- sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg #guided
setup
- manual edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf (use "gtf 1024 768 60"
to obtain the Modeline values):

Section "Monitor"
Identifier
"KDS k717s" #This is my monitor
HorizSync
31-80
VertRefresh 60-75
# 1024x768 @ 60.00 Hz (GTF) hsync:
47.70 kHz; pclk: 64.11 MHz
Modeline "1024x768_60.00"
64.11 1024 1080 1184 1344 768 769 772 795 -HSync
+Vsync
EndSection

Section "Screen"
Identifier
"Default Screen"
Monitor "KDS k717s"
Device
"Configured Video Device"
DefaultDepth 16
SubSection
"Display"
Depth 16
Modes
"1024x768"
EndSubSection
EndSection

Starting
X:
- use startx
- Virtual console F7 is the x window (display
:0)

Install X11vnc:
- sudo aptitude install x11vnc

Start
vnc:
- startx
- x11vnc --forever &

Connect to server
remotely via vnc:
- vncviewer host:0

By now, I got a light
GUI Ubuntu box that can be accessed remotely via VNC.

Setup
VMWare: 
Get the kernel header:
- sudo apt-get install
linux-headers-$(uname -r)

Then run the vmware-install.pl as
root

Then run the vmware-config.pl (install will prompt to run
this)

If you receive compilation error when run
vmware-config.pl like this:
include/asm/bitops_32.h:9:2: error:
#error only can be included directly, and vmmon-only compile
failes
The solution is: change line 74 in vmmon-only source file
to read: #include “linux/bitops.h”
Steps:
cd
/usr/lib/vmware/modules/source
cp vmmon.tar vmmon.tar.orig
sudo
tar xvf vmmon.tar
cd vmmon-only/include/
sudo vi
vcpuset.h
change line 74 from: #include “asm/bitops.h” to:
#include “linux/bitops.h”
rm vmmon.tar (return to the folder
where you decompressed the tar file)
sudo tar cvf vmmon.tar
vmmon-only/
sudo rm -rf vmmon-only/

Then re-run: sudo
vmware-config.pl

After this I have a working vmware that can
be launched by "vmware".

Guest XP OS install:
You
would need to install and activate your XP Guest OS. I already have a
VMware image so this is skipped.

Detect MagicJack USB
devices:
I was initially having problem detecting the
MagicJack USB devices. I did two things that fixed it:
1. Make
sure the XP virtual machine has the USB Controller in the hardware
list
2. Check that the vmx file of the virtual machine
has:
usb.present = "TRUE"
usb.generic.skipsetconfig =
"TRUE"
The second line is missing in my vmx file and I
had to manually add it.

After this, I rebooted the guest XP OS
and re-plug in the MagicJack. XP detected both devices properly and
started its installation. After that the MagicJack is up and running
and I was able to make calls.

Cheers!

BTW, I was
posting this to the unofficialmagicjack forum but keep getting
"Method Not Implemented, POST to /posting.php not supported."
error when submit the post - tried 3 different browsers.
