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

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

Yup. I can confirm that it can be done. I've
done it with my HP 700LX (a
200LX with a docking port for a Nokia 2110).
The 200LX runs MS-DOS 5.0 on an
i80186, so you should be able to get a number of terminal emulation
programs that will work on it.
I though the 200LX used an 8086, more specifically
an Intel HORNET embedded
CPU?
BTW, the 700LX has a built in dumb-terminal program. Press the "&..."
button, then select "Data Comm" from the menu. It works. Just.
Just throwing my tuppence into the well...
Later.
