Airport Express wired connection

Is it possible to split my DSL signal so that I can use my Airport Express for wireless plus one wired connection?

The wireless setup is already working (3 PC laptops wirelessly share IP address). I have an older iMac without a wireless card. Would like to wire it to the DSL router. The DSL modem only has one RJ-45 port, and the Airport Express doesn't have a wired port. Would an RJ45 Y adapter with 2 female and one male ports work?

My options so far seem to be to put an AirPort card and adapter in the iMac, or stop using the Airport Express and switch to a wireless router that has a wired port.

I like the Airport Express, and would rather not spend the money on either a new router or Airport card and adapter.

Thanks.
 
Macwireless.com sells all kinds of plugin and such. Older Airport cards are just way to expense. To use the Airport Express just research setting up a WDS sharing between the routers (if your current wireless router supports it).
