[RTTY] rtty laptops

[Cal]

I had a Dell Latitude CPi A smoke on me about two years ago when I was on 15 
meters RTTY.

I replaced it with a IBM 380z thinkpad.  Great machine  300 mhz and runs 
W98.  Runs all the radio software that I use.  It does have a serial port 
and on USB 1.1 connection.  These are on ebay for under $100.  These old 
IBMs were built like tanks.

FWIW
