Thanks to all who replied. The general consensus is a refurbished Thinkpad. No one mentioned any other brand. Do we know something other notebook users don't? Chris (kingsqueak@kingsqueak.org) has this to say about USB-> serial adaptors: " ... the USB serial dongles are HORRIBLE for freezing up and also for sending a break at random points while in use." I shudder to think what one of those would do to one of our production firewalls ($ 10^6 / hour financial traffic! ). ttg (ttg@charter.net) reminded me to look at Ebay for a 240. A sudden flash of the blindingly obvious! I hadn't thought of that. Maybe I'll be able to buy my own system back! Thanks again everyone! -- Russell Page.
