Yeah, I was aware it'd require a lot of hacking to make it do what you wanted.

Agreed. I must admit that I haven't installed it in at least 15 years
and even then didn't use it and opted for CodeWarrior instead.

Ooh, nice find. Much closer to what you were looking for, without
needing to hack `toolserver` to do the same. Starred.

It's interesting that Basilisk II doesn't support incoming
connections. I haven't tried it in quite some time either since I keep
a PowerMac 9500 running 8.6 for such bootstrapping. I'm sure you've
done your research and have already tried this, but are you using a
unique IP address for the Mac OS in Basilisk II?
