Have you played with /etc/hosts.conf ? My 3C509 works like a charm but
I've had similar hangs (soft hangs, you can exit by ^C) during the
setup of default routes when I had /etc/hosts.conf set up to check
/etc/hosts then NIS then DNS. Despite the fact that all relevant
entries for hosts *were* in /etc/hosts, the "route" command obviously
was trying to resolve names using NIS or DNS even before the servers
were reachable. It disappeared when I restored /etc/hosts.conf from
the distribution.
Just a shot in the dark...

I've RTFMed. It says: "Refer to your system administrator"
But... I *am* the system administrator :-]
