I haven't tried it yet, but there is a button on my surfboard's diagnostics 
page to clear the 2 MAC addresses it caches. I've always pulled the NIC out 
of the last box I used as a firewall, and that's worked fine for me.

I've never had any issues with hooking up different mac addresses
directly to a DOCSIS-compliant cable modem.  A power cycle is always
necessary, but every device I've hooked up has worked.

I am also using Cox's VOIP with no problems... :oP
