This is one way to do it, but prehaps not the correct way. As you want to use the 7600 as you router, you will need a software router (IP Net Router) to make that work. You might have to add another Ethernet card to the 7600 unless you are using a modem to connect to the Internet.
A better way to go is with a stand alone hardware router, like the Snow Base Station, or other, which will let you share your internet with both the wireless and wired machines. As the 7600 and iMac are not portable machines, this should not be a problem. This is should work with either dial up or DSL/Cable. The cost of the IP Net Router and a used Snow Base Station is about the same. If it is not practicable to run wires between the 7600/iMac and the Base Station, then a Ethernet wireless adaptor should work. There are some links on my FAQ to a Dlink product that will work under OS 9. You might be able to find one of the PCI adaptor cards for the WaveLan PC Card you already have. If so, this could be used to put the 7600 on wireless. Farallon/Proxim also had a Skyline PCI Card which used the Skyline PC card to put a PCI slot Mac on wireless. If you found a Farallon/Proxim PCI adaptor, then you could use the Skyline PC card you already have, and convert the PB5300c to use one of the extra WaveLan Gold cards. Please let me know what your final solution is.
