I found some interesting info.  Apparently, there is no Linux driver for
the Magic Jack *hardware*.  However, some people have managed to use the
Magic Jack *service* with SIP softphone programs.  Here are links:

Please note the distinction that I am making between hardware and
service.  Given the right software and a device known as an FXS, it should be
possible to make calls from your analog telephone using your
Linux machine and the Magic Jack service.
At this point, my knowledge of VOIP is quite scanty, so I don't have all
of the details.  Someone who knows more than I do about VOIP can
probably do a better job of describing the necessary hardware and
software components.
