When I click on the entry in the hotlist sometime later after having hung up the modem line, I should get the page back because it's been found in the cache. But it doesn't. I just get the error box with the unreachable host message.
Try Edit>Preferences>Cache. Under "Compare the page in the cache to the page in the network"- what does it say? Choose NEVER, I think the default is "Automatically".
Why it doesn't just display the old page, I don't know. (So this might not be the answer, or maybe a bug)
I've noticed that the cache seems to make less of a difference than in IE 5 on a M$ machine, at least in it's default configuration.
Oh, the things we put up with for our love of Linux! ;)
