a router + switch/hub should work, just plug everything into
the switch.. if your isp has a dhcp server, then you should just
be able to plug everything in, set the newt/imac to dhcp and go
found this the other day:

compaq cp-2e 4 port 10/100 switch + router, haven't used this unit,
but it should do what you want for $25
or of course you could have the imac share its connection using
a serial, wifi, etc connect.. but thats lame :)
