**[DOI Specialized (Native Serial Port) Notebook
Specifications]{.smallcaps}**

The Specialized "Native Serial Port" Notebook is configured identically
to the Telecommuter Standard Notebook with one exception; it contains a
fully functional built-in serial port. It does not contain a USB to
serial conversion cable. The Notebook is designed to provide mobility, a
large 15 inch display, good graphics, and value. This Notebook is for a
user who frequently alternates between an office and home or other
location; requires a Notebook and docking station/port replicator as a
desktop replacement, possibly with an extra monitor/keyboard/mouse. This
model emphasizes manageability and compatibility and is ideal for
standardized deployments. In addition to the state-of-the-art features,
the built-in serial port allows this Notebook to run those legacy
software applications that require a serial connection. It is also
excellent for running software application such as Word Processing,
E-mail, surfing the Web, digital media for training purposes,
interactive applications, accessing databases, and creating Spreadsheets
and Presentations.
