That's not how I read "from another machine through a LAN". Sure Miami is
just fine to access the net via aa LAN and some *other* machine, although
in that case the primary firewall protection would need to be elsewhere,
since it couldn't fully reliably distinguish between local and nonlocal
machines (given the possibility of spoofing).
