RE: Laptop for unique educational project.
Well, they can do anything most other laptops can do. They actually come with built-in digital media readers. If your satellite phone has an interface that appears/functions and either a data port or a modem, then it should work.

Greetings, In March I will be retracing the Lewis Clark route solo by canoe from Illinois to the Pacific. I have created an educational web site called In The Wake Of Discovery and will involve schools, organizations, history buffs or anyone with Internet access. I will be documenting the LC trail as it appears today during the bicentennial celebration of that famous endeavor. My web site: http://www.lewisandclark-2004.com will be updated from remote areas along the trail. I am in hopes of finding a donor of a laptop to be used to bring this journey to those that follow. Do you know of any individuals or organizations who would contribute the use of a laptop? It will be returned upon the completion of this project in October of 2004. I can provide the donor with written testimonial, photos of their product in use, web site links to their company, and mention their contribution to any media I encounter. This is a unique educational endeavor. The LC bicentennial will be the first bicentennial to be celebrated on the World Wide Web. It is anticipate that over 25 million people will partake in some form of LC exhibit, reenactment, site, or other educational display over the next three years. It is my hope you can help provide me with information on where I may be able to obtain this donation. Thank You for your help in this matter. I hope you join me begining in March of 2004.

Re: Laptop for unique educational project.
I've been evaluating laptops for a similar-ish project for UNESCO. Panasonic Toughbooks seem pretty interesting and include mil spec models with onboard radio comms. But Panasonic have been completely unresponsive to requests for technical info, so I've started looking at Terralogic machines (www.terralogic.co.uk) which are also ruggedised and they have been very willing to chat and offer deals. They also cite Red Hat (I know...) as an approved and tested OS, so they're not completely MS orientated. PWR Minnesota Slinky wrote: Well, they can do anything most other laptops can do.
