If you're looking for an internet phone solution, you could do worse  
than Gizmo. They have clients for most flavors of computer and their  
Mac client is about the slickest piece of software I've ever seen.

They have free internet to internet calling and $.02 a minute for  
calling to a land line anywhere in the US, with pretty cheap  
international rates, too.

I got a $30 USB headset for my iBook and I can walk around the house,  
thanks to Airport and broadband, talking to people anywhere and it  
sounds as good as a POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service) line.

You don't have to do anything to your router. You just fire up the  
software, choose your headset in the preferences and start callin'.
