Nope. Ethernet port and modem port.

for instance G3 --> hub --> Airport

Aaaah.... The Airport needs to run from the hub's uplink port... Hmmmm...
I may need to change the wiring configuration in the house then, as I
have:
G3 & Laser Printer --> hub uplink --> second hub --> alanna computer &
Evan Computer
as a legacy wiring arrangement when the G3 was half-a-house away. It was
convenient to leave the second hub in the basement, when the first was on
the second floor. (There remains an ethernet wire to the back bedroom :-)
from the basement hub.) Now the first hub (now in the first floor) is
basically above the second, I think a new wiring arrangement with only
one hub and running the Airport from the uplink will do it (?)
