Hi -- I have 3 laptops, all of which have serial ports, because that's what I requested when I called for product info before i ordered them. If you call dell or hp or toshiba or whatever and just ask for models that have serial ports they will definitely quote you models and pricing info. I had no trouble, and again, all the companies I talked to had models with serial connectors. Good luck. --le ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tom Moore" <tom@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: "Speakup is a screen review system for Linux." <speakup at braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Wednesday, June 08, 2005 9:19 AM Subject: Re: Laptops with serial ports Haven't really looked at them yet. Was first going to ask around and see if people knew of specific models I should look at.
