Configuring SQLMail on Standalone PC

Hi,
I want to try some programs using SQL Mail on my Local/Standalone PC.
I do not have a network connection and only have a dialup connection.
How do I setup/configure SQLMail in SQL2000? When I read about it, it
says that I need to have mailbox/profile setup. But I don't have
Exchange Server too.
Somehow I got hold of Exchange Server 2000 120-Eval edition. But I am
unable to install the same, because it says that it needs Active
Directory to be setup first.
Now my Win2K Server is already installed and I don't have Active
Directory setup. Is it possible to setup Active Directory on a
Local/Standalone PC which doesn't have Network card.
Please let me know if there is any possible way to write and test some
programs on a Standalone Win2K Server with is not connected to any
server. What will be the prerequisites of Standalone PC to use
SQLMail locally for testing purpose.
Thanks,
