You can pick up an old toughbook on eBay that have serial ports for
reasonable prices. Put in flash disk and run linux for a reasonable
experience. But for the height of convenience you cant go past an Air
Console. http://www.get-console.com/airconsole/ Nothing beats being able
to plug it in deep inside a rack and then walk back to a comfortable
seat to work. Beats the cold data center floor any day!

Hi all,
DB9 ports seem to be a nearly extinct feature on laptops. Any
suggestions on a cheap laptop for use in field support (with an
onboard DB9)?
Thanks,
Max
