Vonage Greetings!

Greetings!
I am excited about the prospect of getting this at home, but I'd like some clarification on some points. I scoured the forum, but only found many conflicting reports, so I thought I would start fresh!
I have Comcast Cable for my internet, which I have going to a surfboard modem, out to a 4 port Linksys router (wired) and then out to the computers. I am not using a server, as each computer gets it's Its IP when it boots up (the router is the DHCP server)
If I get Vonage, and it goes inline in front of the router (i.e. modem-vonage box-my router-computers) will this hose up the binding Comcast has to the MAC addressof my router? I don't mind changing it, but comcast charges for multiple computers.
I'm also concerned about port forwarding...I presume the Vonage router only has 1 ethernet port, which I would then patch to my router....does the Vonage box have port forwarding? Or can I have it as a pass through and still have my router do all of the work?
Has anyone had any luck getting a certain number? I know you can choose your area code, but if I want to get a "business type" number, like a XXX-1000, XXX-5200, is this possible?
I would go for the residential basic plan, which does not include fax service, however I've heard you can still use a fax anyway. Is this true?
And just for kicks, is there a way to setup your voicemail via your computer so you can have a clearer sounding greeting than just talking into your phone? I work in the sound realm, and I'd liek to ahve a unique effects laden greeting.
Any other issues you think I should be made aware of?
Thanks so much!

• Yes, that would mess with things a bit on Comcast's end. I have Comcast too, and
• This is exactly the same setup I have. I have the Vonage MTA behind the router, as
• Connecting the adapter after your router requires setting Port Forwarding in
• We've got Comcast too. I've had all three adapters - started with the Cisco behind
