Have a friend who is looking to purchase a new laptop to run FreeBSD on. The most likely purchase for him is one of the R Series Thinkpads, as it's a pretty good mix of what he's looking for. My primary concern for his purchase on this is that these laptops do not come with a standard serial port. USB only. He heavily relies on JPilot and a serial connection to his Handspring Visor via pilot-link. Unfortunately, I can't test the setup with USB at this time as he's lost his USB cradle. I know there's a uvisor tweak in the kernel these days, and pilot-link is supposed to support USB now. Still, I was wondering if anyone has actually gotten this working, and reliable?
