If you order direct from Basic Talk it comes already configured and ready to use. Plug it into your router and plug in a phone and your are good to go! I plugged it into my house wiring after diconnecting the wire to the telephone pole and it activated my whole house. The short answer is no you don't need a computer.

BasicTalk communicates on a high speed internet connection, Voice Over Internet Protocol (VOIP). If you have no computer or other device that requires an internet service, then you won't be able to use BasicTalk. Some internet comes from telephone company DSL and some comes from cable company cable. But TV can come on cable with or without internet, which costs extra. This is correct to the best of my knowledge, but I'm not an expert in the field by any means. I do know for sure that you must have high speed (broadband) available and for something beside the phone, otherwise you can buy phone service cheaper.

No, none is needed,it is powered through the USB connector, which can be connected to the host computer or via an AC to USB adapter if no port is available on the computer. A USB data connection is needed for initial setup (password, etc.) but not for operation.

If this is the same item I bought. It does not need a computer. It uses a menu based setting that allow you to load your setting using a hand held remote control that shows your choices on the sign lights. It is cumbersome to use but it does work Ok. If you have the money. It is easier to use with the PC interface but it cost about $100 more. If you have any other question call Olive they will talk to you. I did and they answered my question about the programing the sign.

NO. You do not need a computer to use this. You plug it in directly to the router. So it does not matter if your computer has Ubuntu Linus, Unix, or Windows 3.1, 95, 97, 98, ME, XP, Vista, 7, 8, Amiga Dos, Apple OS - Snow Leopard, Tiger, Lion or Maverick, it will WORK because it does not use them...

You don't need any computer at all. Just need a TV or computer monitor with a VGA connection and a separate (non provided) VGA cable. Also, if you have any device with internet access, download the SDS-P3040 user manual for operation info.

Not really, only how to get started. If you have a Mac you need to download it. With a PC I think the CD has a manual on it.
