Ordering Zen Active 8000, Is this modem okay?

Hi,
I am just about to order adsl max, zen active 8000 package. I don't want to have to pay them extra for a modem, i have one at home that i got with BT broadband and they never asked for it back

It's the BT Voyager 220V Router, would this work okay with adsl max? http://www.btbroadbandoffice.com/broadband/single
Thanks again

so long as you are connected via ethernet, it should be fine.

It depends on what firmware version it has, later ones are locked to BT Broadband only...

Also, have you thought about getting something with a half decent chipset in? Seeing as you need all the help you can get to actually get sync? The Voyager 220V will probably have a Globespan chipset in which isn't particularly great on long lines.

Yes, it does have an ethernet port.
Can you recommend a very good modem that will help me connect and work on adsl max?
Thanks

Well, how much do you want to spend, and do you want Wireless, or any special features? (i.e. multi-NAT, multicast etc.)

nothing special, just a good adsl max modem

I already have a wireless router which i can plug an ethernet modem into. Any ideas ?
Thanks

I ordered at 3:30pm.
Credit card payment of £71.99 initial fee has been accepted, how long should it be until i am activated?
Btw, i have ISDN on the line at the moment. When i order do Zen automatically request an ISDN conversion from BT ?
Thanks
