Everquest offline assistance

Hello!
So, first off, I know that this subject has been covered before, and yes, I have done my reading, but I have some rather specific questions and am in need of some help from the community. Let me give you a little background:

I have been playing since 2000 on and off. I quit after the last several expansions, the game just got too nuts and tried to be a different version of WOW. Then I discovered p1999, it was amazing to be able to go back to the "motherland" before kunark. However, I am in the military, and am going to be leaving in a few months for nearly 2 years. I most likely will not have access to the internet, or at least regular access. I want to take the old game with me, knowing I cannot play online. So, here are my questions.
1. Is it possible (it seems so)?
2. If I need special equipment can it be made reasonably portable?
3. How can I do it?

I am computer savvy, but not capable of doing so much troubleshooting, so I need an idiot-proof setup guide (if it is possible), more than the standard, "see the minilogin thread". Would anyone be willing to help out with this little project? Thank you!
