Is there a way to connect a landline phone to a modem or router that do not have a phone jack? Upgraded our comcast to include a home phone and I own my own router and modem.
Thanks!

If you're getting your home phone through comcast you'll need to buy/rent a modem that has the voice line in it. As an example from their website, the Netgear C7100V. From there you plug in your normal landline phone.

Alternatively you can get an VoIP phone setup like USAFRet suggested (Ooma, MagicJack, Vonage, etc). They're typically a lot cheaper than phone service through your ISP.

Not directly, no.
Even though the landline is part of your bill to Comcast, the actual wire is totally different.

You should have just gotten an Ooma. $5/month.
