iMac G3 OS922 wireless communicate with PB1400 OS761 questn

A friend of mine has iMac G3 OS922 that quite some many files need to copy to my PB1400 (using Wavelan silver OS761). But the iMac using LAN by RJ45 only and without any router.

Anyone has experienced that by borrowing one more wireless lan card to insert into the iMac and then communicated by wireless without router ? i.e. can 2 Mac communicate by 2 wireless lan cards without wireless router ?

I know if I buy a wireless router, it will be ok to transfer the files between the iMac & PB1400. To just transfer such 1.xGB files size and buying the router seems to be not justified.

Any suggestion ? thanks very much.

I know you can create a wireless network from your computer in OS X without a router, but I'm not sure about OS 9

Thanks. Yes, there is a way for OSX : "ad hoc" network... so, I google this key word and there are quite many articles discussing this ad hoc network. I will study that related to OS9 :)

It seems to be possible :D
