Most of the notebooks I've looked at lately, had standard 9-pin serial
ports on the back - they were mostly Dell's.

Also, the Zaurus'es have a serial port - we're in the process of doing an
eval on a Zaurus with serial cable, ether and/or 802.11 card - should make
for an interesting network troubleshooting tool.

Dell laptop of unrememberable model.
