All the things you mentioned were possible, and happened, within the confines of the classic ruleset on live. Boxing was not, because EQ crashed if you attempted to alt+tab until the January 9, 2003 patch.
I did this first hand, and I get it - apparently I was supposed to take a picture of myself being a hardcore nerd. Pressing alt+tab to swap the game running in windowed mode wasn't required. Maybe alt+tab did crash the client, but again, it wasn't required. Windows 98 had 'internet connection sharing'. We had 2 PCs running 2 clients by the end of Kunark.
