I already answered this question in the "AmiTCP4.3 offline" article but
to complete it here is what I changes in the startnet script:

.key PRVCNF/F,DEBUG/S,NOSRV/S,UMS/S
.bra {
.ket }
;
; "NOSRV" if servers are not used, _nothing_ otherwise
.def NOSRV
.def PRVCNF provider

Note: I prefer having running servers by default than not having running
them. The UMS switch is only for me private when I want to download news
and mail (it only starts a script). You can now specify the "PRVCNF"
option to start with a different config file, f.e.
> startnet offline

Of course you need then a offline.conf to be able to run it.

If NOT Warn
  ; Log in with the default user name (ENV:LOGNAME)
  AmiTCP:bin/login -f
  ; Configure AmiTCP, configure lo0 if using servers
  If X EQ "X{NOSRV}"
    Set LOOPBACK LOOPBACK
  Else
    Set LOOPBACK ""
  EndIf
  AmiTCP:bin/bootpconfig PROVIDERFILE=AmiTCP:db/{PRVCNF}.conf $LOOPBACK {DEBUG}

[...]

    If X EQ "X{NOSRV}"
      If X EQ "X{DEBUG}"
        Run <NIL: >NIL: AmiTCP:bin/inetd
      Else
        Run AmiTCP:bin/inetd {DEBUG}
      EndIf
    EndIf
