Subject: 60 sec delay opening PINE

We are running PINE 3.92 and we have a permanent connection to our
Internet Service Provider by ISDN. When the ISDN line is down or the ISP
is off the air, PINE waits exactly 60 secs before firing up. Why? What do
we alter to reduce this annoying delay?

Please send answers, advice to:

Is your DNS service through your ISP?  It's possible that this hang is in
trying to look up the local host name.
