sqlnet timeout if no network connectivity

I'm developing a client that allows users to work offline if the database server is down or there is no network connectivity (mobile clients). If an attempt to login fails, I bring the client to offline mode. Problem is, when the client machine is not connected to the network and a sql login is executed (using Pro-c), sqlnet takes a long time to detect that there is no network connection. Furthermore, the behavior between Pentium 200 and Pentium II 400 machines differ (pentium II takes longer) even though the sqlnet.ora of both machines are identical.

Does anyone know the configuration parameters of sqlnet that let's sqlnet return an error code quickly if there is no network connection.
