I only recommended VNC to avoid all of the confusion about whether you
have RDP or not. I figured you just wanted something that worked.
Making it pretty can always be done later.

1) Download TightVNC for Windows onto the MagicJack machine from
http://www.tightvnc.com/download.html#stable 
2) Install the TightVNC software.
3) Configure the VNC server to start as a service.
4) Make a note of the IP address for the MagicJack machine.
5) Allow VNC through the firewall of the MagicJack machine.
6) Install Freespire's package for xtightvnc on the Linux client.
7) Allow VNC through the firewall of Freespire.
8) Fire up the client and connect to the MagicJack IP address.
9) Download TightVNC onto the second Windows machine.
10) Allow VNC through the firewall.
11) Fire up the client and connect to the MagicJack IP address.
