Back in the mid-90's I kept a Poqet PC in my bag or desk to use as an ad hoc console terminal for data center gear. Wasn't as convenient as the then current HP palmtops, but a heck of a lot cheaper and an easier keyboard if the HPs were a tad small for you. MS-DOS in ROM supported Kermit nicely for ANSI terminal emulation. California Digital (not the newbies that bought VA Linux' hardware operation) still has them, though perhaps a bit (ahem) overpriced: http://www.cadigital.com/poqetpc.htm --S.
