[X4U] wireless network

[Donna Ellis•Mitchell Senft]

Once again, we're close to getting broadband at home and have a couple 
of questions. It's going to be a cable modem. The main machine is an 
aged G4/400. The second machine, which needs to be able to access the 
web would be, preferably, an iBook G3/800 or one of the first 
generation iMacs.

First, I'm still unclear what plugs into what: cable modem goes into 
base station, and Mac connects to modem? Or base station? (The deal 
with Cablevision includes free installation, but I'm sure they're 
Macphobic so I'll have to know more than the installation person.)

After parsing Apple's support pages, I'm completely confused as to what 
hardware I need. Can I use Airport Express? Can either the iBook or 
iMac take a wireless card? If so, which card. It looks from the support 
page that at least the iBook can only take the original Airport card. 
Is that so?

Thanks,

	Mitchell
