Re: OT: Notebooks /w a serial port?
There are relatively cheap USB-to-serial devices. That's worked pretty well for me. On 3/21/2003 at 16:46:51 -0500, Drew Weaver said:
Seems like these are all but extinct, but does anyone know of a 'new' notebook that has a serial port built onto it? I've found some that have port replicators, but that can be a pain when you need to serial into a router or some other device. What do you guys use?

My (<1 year old) Dell Inspiron 8100 has a serial port. And I believe the later Inspiron models still have them. On Fri, 21 Mar 2003 16:36:46 -0500 Dave Israel <davei@algx.net> wrote:

I've even had luck with them on on applications that are simply looking to toggle the sense lines to control outside devices. Bob Dave Israel wrote:
