I use it whilst on travel too, however i do not have a similar problem as 
described by James but i've noticed that simple operations like `bk vi 
filename` take extremely long;

zwane@r3000 ~ {0:0} bk version
BitKeeper version is bk-3.2.3 20040818155841 for x86-glibc23-linux

zwane@r3000 linux {0:0} time bk cat user.h
#include <asm/user.h>

zwane@r3000 linux-2.6-bk {1:0} time bk get Makefile

My hostname is fixed, i do not have a default gateway set and none of the 
nameservers listed in /etc/resolv.conf are reachable. This could very well 
be a local configuration problem but you did ask for people who use BK 
disconnected to stand up =)

Thanks,
