I've been using Vonage for the past year and a half and it has worked at 
least as well as GTE/Verizon ever did at 1/2 the cost.

My setup was originally :
cable modem> main machine running as masq and dhcp> hub> All the rest of my 
network including Vonage.  The Vonage ip was fixed at 192.168.1.152.

Then I changed things a bit by adding a wireless router. Now my setup looks 
like this:
CableModem>Wireless>Server/Router/dhcp/ShorewallFirewall>DMZ for Vonage
                         >LocalNet for other Network Machines.

I know it's not the optimum setup but it got my wireless stuff up and 
running with a minimum of fuss.  The Server functions as my Print Server 
as well.  All the machines are able to communicate with each other 
including the wireless laptops.

So I guess the rule is you can do it anyway you want if you're willing to 
work at it.

BTW, the cisco box plugged into the house phone jack and all my phones 
worked as they did originally.  Just be sure the outside line is 
disconnected.
