HP is now shipping a NEW portable called the HP Vectra Portable CS,
as well as the previous HP offering called the HP Portable Plus.
I think the new one will come closer to meeting your requirements.

The new HP Vectra Portable CS:
- IBM XT compatable
- 640k RAM standard
- RS-232 and parallel ports (not sure if standard or add-on)
- 300/1200/2400 bps internal modem (not sure if standard or add-on)
- 4 expansion slots, but only HP boards will fit
- Has a standard IBM-compatable 3.5" 720k/1.44Mbyte disc drive, 2nd optional
- Optional built-in 20Mbyte hard disc
- Battery power lasts at least 5 hours
- State-of-the-art high-contrast LCD screen
- Larger and heavier than the older HP model
- Competitive price (about $2500 list)
- Full enhanced AT-type keyboard, with dedicated cursor keys (I think)
