[comp.sys.laptops] Recommendation for cheap, light Email-reading system

kay@ics.uci.edu (David Kay) (09/07/90)

	I am going overseas briefly and I travel
periodically.  I need to stay in touch with my
electronic mail while I'm away.  I have been using
an old TI Silent 700 portable printing terminal,
but I know there must be a better way.  What is it?

	My primary criteria are small size, low
price, reliability, and an acoustic coupler 
modem (I sometimes go places that don't have
modular phone jacks).  I'd like an 80x24 display,
at least 1200 baud, and battery power.  I don't
really care what other processing power it has
beyond terminal emulation.

	I'd appreciate any advice or recommendations,
either by Email or to the net.
