I have heard of people using an HP LX palmtop (the

fuller serial port implementation than does the 95LX) as a terminal for

If I had any HP Palmtops sitting in a drawer, I probably would have
started there. I know that the 95LX was popular years ago as a
portable packet terminal. Never had one, though. Wouldn't turn one
down if I saw it in a thrift.
I'm thinking more towards commodity laptops because they are much
more common. The LX palmtops certainly qualify for an out-of-the-box
device that's easy to add a terminal emulator to.
Thanks for the idea, but it's not quite what I'm working towards.
