netbook with serial

None of the models I know of have a serial port.
I know you said you can't use a USB > serial adapter, just curious why?
 
the experience i had with them is that a lot of devices will not be detected via a usb to serial adapter, have no clue why but they just dont work with a lot of things.

thats the reason right there i even tried one that i got from the rainforest and it just wouldnt find my device :( suppose i could try and hunt down an old cheap lappy that might work, the usb to serial cables seem very flakey best of times and the drivers hinder more than help am sure of it
 
Add the EEE PC to the list of doesn't have and to be honest shouldn't be needed anymore. I think it is time hardware stopped with the serial connections really! Yes that means you aswell, that expensive over priced managed switch/router. Isn't 1990 anymore!
 
mate, the only laptop you'll probably find with serial is a business-grade laptop, like an IBM thinkpad or a Dell D620
