TERMINAL BACK CHANNEL: technical difficulties

Hey, gang...

Came home from work last night to a dead computer. Hooked up the antique Dell, and couldn't get a connection to my ISP, even after anhour's worth of great tech support by phone, trying everything either of us could think of. A service person from the ISP is scheduled to come to my apartment tomorrow evening with a replacement modem, and maybe that will do the trick.

For now, I can get to my gmail at lunchtime at work - which is, of course, how I'm sending this. Once I can connect from home, I can get back to reading and reviewing cap.

I'll keep you posted.
