Date: 29 Jul 1994 16:21:20 GMT Organization: NASA Goddard Space Flight Center -- InterNetNews site Lines: 19 Message-ID: <CSHENTON.94Jul29122120@wasabi.nsi.nasa.gov> NNTP-Posting-Host: wasabi.nsi.nasa.gov Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I just read the FAQs but didn't see anything specific; if there is a list please point me to it. We frequently demo UNIX/network applications we've developed and a UNIX laptop would be helpful. The Tadpoles and SparcBooks are pricey, so I'd like to put UNIX on a laptop. What are the requirements and supported hardware? I assume most laptops don't have built-in ether ports, so I'd need to support a PCMCIA ether card. Also a card-modem for PPP/SLIP access. The ability to snarf video output and pump it into a panel-projector would be a big win. What are the restrictions on the hardware I should consider? Any particular recommendations? Thanks! -- -- <A HREF="http://wasabi.nsi.nasa.gov/~cshenton"> Chris Shenton </A>
