Can the PB 540c do wireless? What about the PM 7300?
I know the iBook G4 can do wireless. I didn't get the airport card or
Bluetooth though. I know that I will regret not getting bluetooth!!

If the 540 has a built in ethernet port, all you need is a router 
with at
least three ports. Connect them all to the router, and go to town. 
You
can find wired 10/100 routers with 4 built in ports for less than 
$40 or
so. On a special sale, probably $20. Even wireless 10/100 routers 
with 4
ports are less than $50 or so.

Don't know anything about the 540c (according to MacTracker it has PC
card slots, so may be able to take an Orinoco or similar wireless card)
but there are wireless PCI cards that should work in the 7300. However,
for the 540 and the 7300, wireless is probably overkill. The iBook G4
would be a good wireless platform, especially if you travel much.

Actually the 520/540 had an optional PCMCIA Expansion Module that you 
could slip into the left battery bay, but the module is VERY hard to 
find. What would be easier is finding an Ethernet adaptor: AAUI to 
RJ-45.
