DB9 ports seem to be a nearly extinct feature on laptops. Any suggestions on a cheap laptop for use in field support (with an onboard DB9)?

You might be able to pick up something like an old Dell Latitute D800 series pretty cheaply. Built-in RS232 serial ports are very tough to find on current laptops, however USB serial drivers have come a long way in the last several years, depending on your OS.
