I just ordered one of these from Matter of Fax, the same place I got a
couple of the MT2834ZDXbs recently.  Once it's here and tested, I'll have
these surplus as well as an older MT2834ZDX.

Hopefully this will resolve the problem, and I won't have to listen to my
wife complain when faxes from medical ``insurance'' companies don't arrive.
Telling her that patient authorizations don't arrive because the sender's
fax system is borked doesn't get a very good reception.  When Momma's
unhappy, everybody's unhappy :-).
