At good prices too. I would strongly recommend a IBM ThinkPad. On my TP 770 I got everything to work, I wanted to (I have no USB device, so I can't say anything to that, and I also have no internal Modem/NIC, so I also can't say much about that), and my machine runs very, very fine. But since a TP 770 is a little bit out of your price range I suggest, you should best ask at [EMAIL PROTECTED] if someone can tell something about a TP in your price category (there are about 400 people on that list, so there must be someone using a TP in your price category :-) Why I recommend a TP: From the experience I made, ThinkPads have a marvelous display, keyboard, pointing device (yes, I like that little red thing there; I couldn't belive it, how well it worked, when I tried it the first time), it has a great hard disk (works very fast), and finaly, it is manufactured marvelous, you can see it in every detail...
