Question iMac and using BT HomeHub question.

Thanks for all the replies to my earlier post about a quicker modem, I think I now need to do the following....

I want to sign up to the BT Total Broadband package of Option 2.
But, I use an iMac G4 that does not have a wireless facility, it uses the BT Voyager100 to connect to BT basic broadband. Does anyone know if the BT Home Hub will work ie can be connected, without it being a wireless unit ? In other words, can it replace the Voyager but still have wire connections ? I may go wireless at some future date but not yet. I have asked BT but would prefer a second opinion.

Thanks

JBL

the home hub is both wireless and wired, so you can connect wired until you decide to buy an aiport card and go wireless...

when you say an imac G4, i am guessing it is the anglepoise lamp model (sorry in joke but you will know what I mean by that description)
