I got an Inspiron 5150 with Pentium HT 3.26 processor and USB PORT
REPLICATOR with DB9 serial ports on it.
Dell's laptops with HT processors are the machines for IT people.....

Subject: [windows2000] OT: Which new laptop, and how to handle serial
communication

I'm looking for a laptop for someone who is a network administrator.
He
takes his laptop everywhere he goes... weight isn't a huge issue, he's
fairly hefty and is used to carrying around a laptop, camera, zip
drive,
barcode scanner, and a ton of accessories.

Thus far, folks seem to be leaning toward the Inspiron 5160 or 8600.
The problem is, they don't appear to have a serial port on board. Does
anyone have any experience with either the laptops, to have
suggestions
with them, or with serial PCMCIA cards? He needs the serial port(s) so
that he can connect to cisco/3com switches for programming, via null
modem to the Bogen paging system, etc.

So... any advice on, or experience with, either the laptops or a way
to
handle serial communication? Thanks in advance! 

Andrew
