Hi Jack! There are tricks that you can do to get classic MacOS to do a loopback without an IP connection. It has to do with a Hosts file and such -- I used to know it.
The PWS list is the best place to ask questions about all-things-Swiki -- it's where people really know about such things. What problems did you have with the old PWS? I wrote most of that on a 190cs (68040!) in System 7, so it really shouldn't have a problem with classic Mac -- unless something has broken recently.
