I would like to put together a proposal for using a laptop computer to
run automated tests.  The basic setup would be the PC sending commands
and recieving data over a RS232 port and either sending results over
another RS232 port or logging it to some mass storage.  The RS232 port
should be capable of at least 9600 baud, and the mass storage writable
with at least 100k bytes free.

I am slightly familiar with some portables.  The Tandy 100 or 600 seem
limited in functionality but is moderate in cost, while the DG-1 is 
powerful but costly.  There should be something in between that meets
my needs.

My request is to have any info on possible laptops that can fit the brief
requirements I've given.  A name or reference would be very helpful.

					Thanks,
					Owen Alexander
