I've decided that I would like to get a laptop to run FreeBSD on. My logic is as follows: I only want a console, so an older 486 with a black&white LCD and 8MB of RAm should be just fine - and CHEAP! So if anyone has had good luck with a particular 486 laptop, I'd love to here about it. I'd prefer if it had a PCMCIA card in it -- BTW, are there any PCMCIA modem and or modem/ethernet combo cards out there that work with FreeBSD (2.2.1R) ?
