I set up a small home Belkin router and didn't use the MAC address
cloning feature. I've never noticed a problem. I don't know if they
read the MAC address at all, but the Belkin router didn't have the same
MAC as the Intel box I had been using to connect to the modem.

Verizon wants their primary user name which generally something beginning with
vz..., not the name associated with the mail alias. Once you're
connected, you can use any user name to authenticate to the news or mail
server. If the name doesn't begin with vz, it's possibly not the
primary user name.
