You should pretty much just give up on this idea. The 9500, no matter what G3 card you got in it will just not have the horsepower to do this and I'm pretty sure there is no way to get the Wall St. using a third party wireless card to even try to net boot wirelessly. I don't think the ROMs in a Wall St. will support any form of net booting anyway, hard wired or other. Don't forget memory, you'll want to have a minimum of 1 Gig in the 9500 and that old world 168 Pin DIMM memory isn't particularly cheap.
Pizmo might work but the 9500 will still be a liability. For a project like this Apple has always recommend "colored" plastic (iMac/iBook and later) and a minimum of G3 300 server. In reality, we gave up on our net booting at the US Institute of Peace even using hard wired access because of load on the server and there simply not being a significant need for any remote machine to boot from the server. Just what is it you need to do this for?
