    1) I don't think you can find any up to date laptops with a RS-232 (You want one of these, right ?). Because the manufacturers don't bother with them anymore (there is little use for them nowadays). I think you will have to buy a USB<->RS-232 for that.

    2) Toshiba Tecra laptops fall into this classification. Though I don't think you need to limit yourself to a Toshiba laptop.
    I think you are better off to fill the FAQ and post it in the "What notebook Should I buy ?" forum.
