Since I didn't get even one responce (email or posted) I'm assuming my post did
not did make it to the full net.

The quest for a cheap laptop terminal:
--- ----- --- - ----- ------ ---------

	I'm searching for a cheap 9600 baud laptop terminal for a unix system.
That implies a 9600 baud serial port, terminal emulation program that supports
something termcapable, 80x25 char screen and a price not more than $800. Also
IBM PC compatibility would be a definite plus but not required. These are the
options I have found mail-order so far (also the cheapest prices found). I am
interested in getting more information (plus or minus) on these options and
prices. I am also interested in other options. Here's what I have so far:
----------------------------------------------------
Toshiba 1000					$759
	512K, 3.5" 720K disk, MS-DOS in ROM,
	80x25 Super Twist, 80c88 4.7MHz, 
	serial & printer ports
----------------------------------------------------
Sharp 4501					$695
	80188, 7.16MHz, 80x25 Super Twist,
	720K disk, printer port, MS-DOS,
	serial port optional, 256K, 7 hr
	battery (can anything with a 80188
	truly be called PC compatible?)
----------------------------------------------------
Bondwell Model 8				$750
	512K, 3.5" 720K disk, 300 baud modem,
	serial & printer ports, real time clock,
	RGB & B&W video ports, MS-DOS, GW BASIC
----------------------------------------------------
Either post or e-mail responses. Any e-mailed responses will be
summarized and posted. Thanks.
