As Andu said, a simple cross cable betwin two macs, and even others machines
(linux, wintel) is enough to test an intranet solution. You can even test your
apps in loopback, using the same machine to handle the client and the
server-side of your web apps.
To test a dialup kind of solution, you can declare two domains name at
<http://www.dyndns.org>, one domain for each computer, and, if you don't want to
pay for static ip adresses, you will need to update the ip adresses of both
machines, at your dyndns accounts, each time you will connect them to each other
(it takes
just some seconds and dyndns run perfectly for free).
To do best, you could link the two computers to the web in using adsl modems and
static ip adresses. It's the solution i recommand to my clients for small
extranets (100 clients per server). In France, the cost of an adsl/static ip for
one machine/month is about US $ 100 and it's probably cheaper in the USA.
