This is not a general problem as I use Linux dial-on-demand and have
never suffered it. Sometimes if the connection is slow to start, I get
a "Timeout connecting to XXX" dialog box, but most times it works and
I have never had mozilla (or netscape 4) hang when it causes the
connection to be established.
