LoD is not impossible in Hell mode... it just requires good equipment and a well built character (and of course, some strategy). You can't solo Hell mode with only rare equipment (not very easily anyway) - you need uniques and rune words.

I play strictly single player and TCP/IP games (with my brother), and only with items I've found myself, and yet I've soloed Hell in LoD with a large variety of characters (one of them being a whirlwinding barbarian). I also play the game by clearing every single area and killing every monster - no rushing through areas or skipping areas with notoriously difficult enemies. It is certainly possible.

I haven't played classic D2 in years - only LoD ever since it was released.
