Netscape startup hangs
I'm trying to convert a spare old 486 into a freesco box (with diald), but the
problem is; I would like to be able to launch Netscape to administer the
thing (or read offline HTML pages) *without* dialing. Right now it hangs
for a few minutes before it gives up and lets me use it.
When I have this pointing directly to my modem, it's not a problem, it
realizes there's no interface for it to use, so it lets me work with it
offline, but when I enable a gateway through my NIC -- sigh.
How can I prevent it from trying to hit (home.netscape.com? Or something
like that?) the Internet until I'm good and ready?
P.S. there is NO startup page set.
Thanks in advance.
