The only one I have found is the Kaypro >2000... Communications programs such as Professional-YAM and Crosstalk are available in DG/One versions. One minor point to consider: most if not all of the lap-tops have a modified keyboard layout, with fewer keys than a PC. This affects Pro-YAM's VT100 Alternate Keypad emulation, since there isn't a keypad to remap! Other than that subtlety, the Kaypro-2000 runs a stock Pro-YAM at speeds of 19200 bps and less. Since it has only one disk drive, whereas the DG/One has room for two, you may run into "one hand clapping" problems. -- Chuck Forsberg WA7KGX ...!tektronix!reed!omen!caf CIS:70715,131 Omen Technology Inc 17505-V NW Sauvie Island Road Portland OR 97231 Voice: 503-621-3406 Modem: 503-621-3746 (Hit CR's for speed detect) Home of Professional-YAM, the most powerful COMM program for the IBM PC
