Brand new they cost well under $100 (assuming you can provide a case
and power)
Whatever you use do make sure it has a "real" serial port not just
USB. It is getting harder to find new equipment that has RS232. So
if you use a notebook make sure it has rs232
Yes the notebook has a screen and keyboard but after you are set up
you don't need that. I've used notebooks.
