As Wayne implied, this problem occurs with any packet driver if you are
not connected to the net.  I use a batchfile for local use that
specifies "lynx -localhost" to prevent this hangup.

I tried "skeleton.com".  It seems to work fine.  My only suggestion
would be to clean up the text portions. It still says that it is a
driver for "<foo>", and has text something like "portions copyrighted by
<your name here>".
