I wasn't quite sure where to turn for this, but
http://www.geocities.com/SiliconVall...3495/isdn.html
makes it pretty clear that you will need some sort of "...ISDN Terminal Adapters or ISDN Routers, ethernet hubs or cards (10-T Base, etc for Macintosh)."
ISDN is a nice, and expensive feature, but the iMac was meant for the introductory consumer market, so no facilities for ISDN were built-in. That "etc." is not particularly helpful...
I suggest you talk to BT, to get their recommendations on the appropriate hardware. Once armed with the proper terminology, you can see about getting a good deal, or decide that 56k might be fast enough, and cheaper for your purposes.
