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.

Really? I doubt it will but 'll try that..... I never experienced a crash during a connection (apart when using Voyager...) but in case it does keep the connection alive I guess it's just enough to relaunch the browser without activating MIAMI again? Or it will have to be started all over again anyway? When your machine is back up, it doesn't have the AmiTCP stack running so how could keep the connection alive? Pleae explain.

Thankx

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.

That's precisely the only way I thought it would have worked, actually. I just needed a confirmation. My Amithlon setup is pretty fast at rebooting, so perhaps the modem will not time out before I have Miami relaunched. But will chek that simulating a crash (a simple soft-reboot) and see if that works for me.

Regards.

Where is this option in Miami Deluxe?
