Miami 3.0 is a TCP/IP protocol stack to access the Internet by modem, cable modem, ISDN
modem, or to access local networks by Ethernet/Arcnet. We deliver Miami 3.0 on three
floppy-discs together with the license-code.
Miami 3.0 features
- replaces AmiTCP/IP ("bsdsocket.library") in an API-compatible way, i.e. standard
clients and servers for AmiTCP/IP usually also work
with Miami. Clients for I-Net 225 or AS-225 can also be used with Miami, using the PD
socket.library emulation library from Aminet.
- contains a complete TCP/IP protocol stack for point-to-point connections to your
Internet provider allowing you to access the Internet, and for LAN (Ethernet/Arcnet)
access.
- is based on the latest BSD TCP/IP code (Net/3 as distributed in 4.4BSD/Lite version
2), augmented by FreeBSD 2.x extensions.
- supports RFC-1323 extensions for higher performance TCP.
- is a "true" TCP/IP implementation, not a "hack" that requires a shell account with
additional programs running at your Internet provider.
- Miami does support the TCP/IP emulators "Slirp" (by Danny Gasparovski) and TIA
though, so Miami can also be used together with shell accounts.
- supports SLIP, CSLIP and PPP as built-in protocols without the need for SANA-II
drivers. The PPP implementation is rather fast and comprehensive and supports, for
example, PAP, CHAP, authentication protocol fallback for Win-NT servers, and VJC TCP
header
compression.
- The PPP code is based on the thoroughly tested code of ppp.device, but
all PPP parameters are configured automatically by Miami.
- also supports most SANA-II device drivers (for Ethernet, Arcnet and other network
hardware).
- has an integrated graphical user interface (based on MUI 3.3, copyright by Stefan
Stuntz, or GTLayout, by Olaf Barthel) for *all* configuration and runtime parameters,
including the settings for TCP/IP, interfaces, PPP, protocols, dialing, inetd, user
database etc. The user interface module can be unloaded at any time to save memory.
- does not require the installation or modification of any external text files,
libraries, devices, environment variables, tool types etc. The configuration is done
completely through the graphical user interface, and all parameters are stored in a
single IFF settings file. Functions to
import/export many settings from/to ASCII text files (as used e.g. by Unix hosts or
by AmiTCP/IP) are available, too.
- has a built-in script-driven dialer with support for multiple phone numbers and
optional interactive mode. In the demo version up to 3 phone
numbers are supported. In the registered version there is no limit.
- supports auto-redialing on several phone numbers during dialing.
- supports static and dynamic IP addresses for SLIP, CSLIP and PPP.
- supports DHCP and BootP, and has an automatic dial log analyzer to support dynamic IP
addresses even with SLIP and CSLIP.
- supports teach-in dialing, i.e. in most cases you do not even have to write a dial
script, but only need to connect to your provider once
manually in interactive mode, and Miami will "learn" how to automatically log in by
itself the next time you want to connect, i.e. Miami will generate a suitable dial
script by itself.
- supports Arcnet according to the old (RFC 826/1051) standard as well as according to
the new (RFC 1201) standard, for compatibility with Linux and Win95/NT.
- has extensive security features, including ping flood protection, IP fragment
protection, configurable SYN flood protection, IP address
spoofing protection, protection from "land", plus additional packet filter and
monitoring functions.
- has many of the popular demons (TCP/UDP servers) already built in, e.g. inetd, identd
and fingerd.
- has a configurable, dynamic hostname cache to reduce the number of DNS lookups and
thus speed up TCP connection setup, in particular with WWW browsers.
- allows you to reconnect after a reset (without dialing) even with Internet providers
that usually do not support this.
- is completely localized. (English/German at this time. Many other languages are in
preparation.)
- supports several new MUI 3.x features (such as "drag&drop", "bubble help" and
"context menus") as well as extensive context-sensitive online help, when using the MUI
interface module.
- support PPP-Callback/Dialback in a way that is compatible to Win-NT.
- supports SOCKS V4/V5 proxy servers to bypass firewalls.
- implements SANA-II R3, for better throughput with new SANA-II devices.
- supports multicasting level-2 and multicast routing for MBone compatibility and
support of live audio/video applications.
- supports automatic redial/reconnect on hangup (works best with static IP addresses),
and automatic execution of
ARexx scripts when certain events occur (start, end, online, offline etc.).
- phone bill data can be exported to a text file.
- supports T/TCP (TCP for transaction) for faster web browsing; supports Path MTU
discovery for better performance across Ethernet and BSD packet filter.
- has a built-in IP filter to restrict and monitor access to your machine.
- comes with "MiamiRemind", a tool that can automatically hang up the line for you
after a period of inactivity, to save on phone costs. MiamiRemind is highly
configurable.
- comes with an additional configuration utility "MiamiInit" that allows you to get
connected to the Internet without configuring Miami first. All you need to do is answer
a few questions with information your Internet provider gave you. MiamiInit then dials
up your Internet connection, verifies your data and tries to find out all remaining
configuration parameters by itself. MiamiInit will only ask additional questions if it
was unable to determine some required parameters by itself. Extensive online helpPing
and many others.
