  Cancel the cancellation.  The 1-year-old Dell (my "production
machine") with the 9-year-old PCI modem works OK.  The new Dell (my "hot
backup") appears to have a Conexant "Winmodem", bleagh.  I have better
things to do with my time than trying to get a Winmodem running under
linux.

  Is there any place in the GTA I can pick up a MultiTech MT9234MU in
person?  2nd-best is delivery via Canada Post.  There's a locked parcel
box in my condo building, where Canada Post can drop off small packages
sent via mail.  This beats having to take a whole day off work sitting
in my living room waiting by the phone for a courier to ring me from
downstairs.
