My brother owns a pest control business. He wants a system which will handle his (simple) record keeping, billing, etc. Here's the rub; he wants to be able to take the pc on the road with him in his truck and do his paperwork on-site which INCLUDES printing estimates and Inspection Reports. He needs to do everything from the cab of his truck. Is there a luggable with a built-in printer which can operate on battery or 12 volt dc power? What other portable pc/portable printer combinations might be appropriate? I suggested he might be able to just use a fax card (since most of his clients have fax machines) but he is concerned about access to phone lines from the field. Can the typical fax/modem card work via cellular phone and/or pay phone? Please reply to jcrowder@morse.cns.vt.edu Thanks, Jeff
