You can't use a laptop as a dumb terminal, at least not easily, because PCMCIA cards don't have bootable rom images.
The easiest way would be to run a windows based X server and connect to your Linux box that way. I use Exceed and find it very good, I've no idea how much it costs as work got it for me. I'm sure I've seen free ones mentioned out there on the Internet. Also that way you can get to your windows programs without having to re-boot.
