Can someone explain to me what Miami does better than say Genesis or AmiTCP to a normal user?? I know it's easy to get up and running but Genesis wasn't that difficult either.

In my experiences with them both (well I never tried MiamiDX actually) Genesis is muuuch faster than Miami.

From what I remember, Miami(Dx) can do automatic connection setup via DHCP.  Genesis and AmiTCP don't have that, unless it's been added to them the last time I looked.  (The Roadshow TCP/IP stack in AmigaOS4 can do DHCP as well.)

One of the features that i like with miami over Genesis is that if your machine crashes you do not have to dial-up again ie it keeps the connection even after a soft reset

Oh, yeah, I forgot about that with Miami.  It's a very good feature for dialup users.

If your machine crashes your modem is still online. Miami places a kicktag so that when you reboot, it reconnects to the modem without resetting the net connection. It does work. It never worked for me because I took too long to reboot, and the modem would time out just before Miami loaded...

I don't know if the "regular" version of Miami has it, but Miami Deluxe also has the option to save the connection information to a file instead of the KickTag method.  It is meant for if you have a really bad crash, and the KickTag gets blown away.  When I used to use dial-up, I had it set up to use the file method.  It worked great every time I needed it.
