I've just bought a similar iMac, which is G3 Blueberry 350Mhz slot loading. I found out it would need an adaptor to install an Airport card and that nearly all sellers of these on eBay were in Hong Kong or elsewhere in China, so it would take some time to arrive. There's also the option of a USB WiFi adaptor, but again nearly all sellers were in Hong Kong, or elsewhere in China. It wouldn't even recongise a USB 3G dongle modem. I bought an Ethernet cable from a hardware store, after checking it was the right type of Ethernet cable and connected to an Ethernet port on my WiFi router. It currently has 192Mb of RAM and can be upgraded to 1Gb. How much RAM should I have to run OS X without the big delays you mention? If I upgrade the RAM how to I make sure both RAM cards are recognised? My two current RAM cards are 64Mb and 128Mb and one of them has slower RAM than the other, but I read somewhere to get two RAM cards of the same type to make sure they both work.
