Speaking of, does anyone have a recommendation for a simple VT100 capable
laptop?  I currently use this PowerBook 5500 which takes forever to boot
and currently has a bad battery that goes to sleep all the time.  99% of
the time I'm using it, I'm using it in Z-Term.  I wish there was a laptop
with a nice keyboard that did just serial terminal access.

Make the pb sleep when not in use, so you don't have to reboot. And get
more batteries.
