Tried ethernet with file sharing, etc and the iMac couldn't be accessed.
So we used my 128mb usb drive. Oh well - but what's up with that file
tranfer instruction sheet!!??
Just did the same thing for a friend last week. Ethernet worked 
fine, however you need a cross over cable with the older G3 iMac. 
The eMac has auto sensing  ethernet but the older G3 imac doesn't. A 
crossover cable will solve the problem.

Apple's built in transfer utility requires firewire.
You should only need auto sensing at one end to connect using a 
straight through cable.
