Mine is a Zenith 8-bit laptop w/dual 720K pop-up floppies w/DOS and
Kermit... I use either the built-in serial port for direct connect or
a Xircom PE3 pocket ethernet adapter w/DOS packet drive when I want to
telnet to the far end.

It would be completely portable if I were to rebuild the NiCd battery
pack and find a place to tap +5VDC off for the PE3 (I have a keyboard
dongle pigtail, but no keyboard port on the Zenith).  I've
contemplated building the PE3 inside the case where the factory modem
would go.

It's only slightly larger than my Planar ELT-320 dumb terminal (which
needs a source of +12VDC at a couple of amps).
