I'm interested in alternatives for getting a laptop machine with an ethernet interface, either for use as a home/office system or for remote network debugging (TCP/IP). It doesn't need to be terribly powerful (read: think cheap), but it does have to be able to support packet drivers. My sketchy understanding is as follows. Toshiba has a machine which can be fitted with an internal Western Digital-alike card, don't know the part number or availability. Xicom (spell?) has a Pocket Ethernet thingie that plugs into the parallel port, but there are no packet drivers for it as of yet (or they are still in early test phase). And of course there are all of the lightweight, inexpensive laptops which have regular full ? half ? slots in them. thanks for any info. --Ed
