I don't know the US prices as I'm in the UK, but the local second hand
computer shops regularly feature laptops in their collections, with
prices around �300 to �450.
Based on your specification, you'd be looking for a 486dx or low end
Pentium based laptop with 2 or 3 PCMCIA slots, plus a PCMCIA based
CD-ROM and a PCMCIA Ethernet/Modem.
Pricewise, the laptop would be around �300-�450, the Ethernet/Modem
around �120 and the CD-ROM drive with PCMCIA controller probably �150
to �200, giving around �570 to �770 for the lot, at least here in the
UK. Have a look at your local second hand computer shops and see what
they're offering and at what prices...
Best wishes from Riley.
