Hello fellow LUGers, Would anyone here perchance have an old laptop (the older/crappier, the better) with a real serial port which they would be willing to sell or donate to my open source SDSL project?
In connection with my current project of bringing up a Nokia D50 DSLAM in my SDSL test lab, I need to run a certain very evil piece of software that runs under a very evil OS. So evil that it needs to be completely and totally isolated from the rest of my network and computing environment, hence I want to run it on its own dedicated laptop that does nothing else. The serial port is the key thing it needs: I don't want to take my chances of trying to get that horrible SW to work with a USB-to-serial adapter. In all other ways the laptop can be as decrepit as possible: slow, tiny RAM, tiny HD, etc. Does NOT need to have Ethernet as I will never connect it to my network, and most certainly doesn't need to have WiFi or any other modern amenities. If someone can help me out with such a thing, I would be very grateful.
