IBM T and A series systems all have serial ports as far as I know. (I
have not seen T40, yet.)

The Toshiba Satellite Pros have serial ports as well.  The lower end
non-pro Satellite notebooks don't.

I discovered while notebook shopping a couple months ago that asking about
serial ports is a good way to get laughed at by computer sales people.
"Don't you know serial is dead?" they kept asking.
