Hi all,

I am looking at getting a notebook computer to run unix, NEXTSTEP and
either Linux or FreeBSD.  I have run both Linux and FreeBSD on my desktop 
machine in the past but now run NEXTSTEP.

What brands/models of notebook computers will work?

My main requirements are 
1) networking (pcmcia ethernet - 10B-T and/or 10B-2) 
2) and SLIP/PPP (pcmcia modem or external modem) 
3) and X-Windows (XFree86) for Linux/FreeBSD.

I've been looking at the NEC Versa models (E,V,M,P).
