  We study the equilibrium thermodynamics of a simple, confining, DSE-model of
2-flavour QCD at finite temperature and chemical potential. The model has two
phases: one characterised by confinement and dynamical chiral symmetry
breaking; and the other by their absence. The phase boundary is defined by the
zero of the vacuum-pressure difference between the confined and deconfined
phases. Chiral symmetry restoration and deconfinement are coincident with the
transition being of first order, except for $\mu=0$, where it is second order.
Nonperturbative modifications of the dressed-quark propagator persist into the
deconfined domain and lead to a dispersion law modified by a
dynamically-generated, momentum-dependent mass-scale. This entails that the
Stefan-Boltzmann limit for the bulk thermodynamic quantities is attained only
for large values of temperature and chemical potential.
