Miami's not a browser, it's just a TCP/IP stack. For web browsing, you'll need other software (I've found iBrowse to be very nice, though I don't know if your hardware is sufficient to run it.) Have you gotten the connection up and running with Miami yet?

What password? Do you mean your wireless is encrypted? It might be that Miami doesn't support your method of encryption.

Hm, I can't help you too much with wireless...I've read that there are drivers you can get that support encryption, but I don't know anything about 'em.

Also please remember that going online with a 1200 these days is kind of pointless, most sites won't render correctly and it will be very slow and painful.   I've got an 80Mhz 060 and my LAN card is still sitting in the box I brought it in, that should give you an idea ;)
I disagree. I've got a 50MHz 030 and a 10Mbps PCMCIA NIC; on most sites I've visited, the NIC is the bottleneck, and where that's not true, it's usually only because of bloated Javascript and iBrowse's lack of a JS whitelist feature. It's not zippy by any means, but it's perfectly usable.
