To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Date: Thu, 22 Aug 1996 11:53:42 -0700 (PDT) X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL24 ME8] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Quick! Before my manager changes his mind! :-) I got the go ahead to get a laptop for a portable network monitor. I don't need fancy --- I'll run tcpdump mostly, but could see running rtpmon on it also, so I'll probably get a DS color display. 800x600 would be nice, but not worth big bucks. Small and light is a big advantage. Good network interface is a requirement, but I suspect that's more a factor of FreeBSD PCMCIA support than the particular laptop. Support for 100baseTX would be a plus. Of course, running FreeBSD well is also a requirement. Suggestions?
