Have you tried Dell?
I don't suggest them because they are a local company. I do not own stock
or have any such interest. Instead, I am a bit disgusted with them because
they generate so much traffic and congestion here!!

I was going to suggest the Dell Inspiron 600M but it doesn't look like they
list them any more. When I got mine, part of the decision making was based
on it having a real serial port. I see some of their current offerings
include up to 6 USB ports, but no RS-232 ports. I did pick up a used
Edgeport adapter recently that adds 8 serial ports, but it's "extra
hardware" to drag along. I also have a couple of USB to serial adapters
that have worked for everything I have used them for including programming
TT3s, OTs, talking to TNCs and so on.
I checked out Dell's site. They don't list serial ports for any of the
Inspiron series, but several of their Latitude models still list a serial
port.
