"Can I use your service with my home alarm system?

Yes, you can. But we recommend that you keep a basic telephone line to 
support your home alarm system."

&gt;&gt;
&gt;&gt;
&gt;&gt; OK, now that Speakeasy is offering OneLink, their dialtone-less DSL
&gt;&gt; service, I'm seriously investigating moving from a BS dialtone line to 
&gt;&gt; Vonage
&gt;&gt; (the fact that I just found out I can keep my phone number doesn't hurt
&gt;&gt; either). I do have some technical questions, however, and I'm 
&gt;&gt; wondering if anyone
&gt;&gt; has the experience to answer these:
&gt;&gt;
&gt;&gt; - Is the VoIP adapter able to operate with a NAT'ed IP behind an Linux 
&gt;&gt; iptables firewall using unmodified MASQUERADE rules, or would one
&gt;&gt; need to set up a static NAT entry and port forwarding (or *ugh* a 
&gt;&gt; public IP)?
&gt;&gt;
&gt;&gt; - Instead of connecting the phone jack directly to a phone, can one run
&gt;&gt; it to an existing phone jack and then connect other phones to the 
&gt;&gt; inside wiring? Would it be necessary to disconnect the pair from the 
&gt;&gt; NIU in
&gt;&gt; order to do this?
&gt;&gt;
&gt;&gt; TIA,
&gt;&gt; -Chris
