Get one of the wireless cable/dsl routers out there. Airport, Linksys,
D-Link, Asante, and some others all make 'em. Plug DSL modem into the
router, then wired computers into the ethernet ports on them (on the
Airport, at least, you'll likely need to buy another switch to connect
all the computers, but the others generally offer 3 or 4 wired ethernet
ports as well)
DSL Modem ---->Wireless Router--->ethernet--->QS, iMac
|--->wireless--->iBook.
Alternatively, you can get Airport cards for the G4 and iMac as well and
run them all without cables.
