It depends on which G3 iMac you're talking about. Slot-loading iMacs (with the 
exception of some 350 MHz units I've seen) are capable of using the original 
802.11b Airport card, with a special adapter. Tray-loading G3 iMacs were devoid 
of an Airport slot, but I believe can go wireless using a USB adapter. Google 
"G3 iMac USB wi-fi" or search the Low End Mac web site. You should get plenty 
of hits as I've seen this subject come up many times over the years.
