As per the MiamiDx.guide:
Restrictions
************
The demo version has the following limitations:
* After 60 minutes the modem hangs up the line. SANA-II connections
are interrupted after 30 minutes.
* It is not possible to keep TCP connections alive when the modem
hangs up.
* The "Events" options "auto-online after passive offline" and
launching ARexx or Shell scripts are not available.
* The number of phone numbers in the dialer is limited to three.
* Phone logging is disabled.
* The Window customization options are disabled.
* Multicasting and T/TCP are not functional.
* The IP filter is not available.
* Ping flood protection is not available.
* The sorting, merging and Clipboard import/export functions on the
Database are not available.
* PPP Callback is not available.
* The packet monitoring callback (for external packet monitors like
MiamiTCPDump) is not functional.
* System log events cannot be exported to syslog.library.
* Many utility programs, all multicasting and DNS tools, and the
libraries miamibpf.library and miamipcap.library cannot be used.
* MS-CHAP support, PPP encryption and PPP compression are not
available.
* The control panel is not available.
* The interface auto-connect function is not available.
* Manual routes and IP aliases cannot be added.
* The SysCtl, IP-NAT and IP-Filter pages of the database are not
accessible.
* Routing between interfaces is not available. That includes normal
routing as well as IP-NAT, SOCKS and firewalling.
IOW, MiamiDx is fairly limited without registering it...
Is fire supposed to shoot out of it like that?
