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.
