[Ham-Mac] Help! - Start-up problem with G4

David,
OS 9.1 can hang for a looooong time looking for the last network connection.
9.2 is much better on startup.  You can also go into the extensions folder
and delete any alias's found in the SERVERS folder so that it doesn't try to
connect to them at startup.
