For your network will be great solution with PAN network.
You will setup one computer like a "master".
pand --listen --master --role=NAP
Other computers and PDA will be a "slaves".
Maybe this document is best for you:

I use PPP through rfcomm only for GPRS dial-up with my mobile phone.

If you have devices in same address space, you will need to configure
bridge on master.
If you have devices in different address spaces, you will need to setup
default gateway on slaves and enable routing in kernel on master:
echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
But I don't have experience with more than two devices.
