Yes, and quite easy. Once you have set up the configuration
the way you wish, save it using "save as" as miami.default.

setting which appears.
There is another way, too. When you are ready to save the
settings make sure you save them with the ".default" suffix.
Then, all you need to do is to go to the "Settings" pull down
menu and choose "Load," then your saved default.
Now, if all this seems to fail, it could be that you were not
pressing the Enter/Return key on your keyboard whenever you
entered info into the dialog boxes. The only way that Miami
knows that something other than default is there is by using
that Enter/Return key.
Hope this has helped. You see, I currently use four dialup
ISP's, so I need four defaults, one for each. It works.
Julian.
