I haven't seen any portables with RS232 ports on them for a while, and the netbook+usb dongle solution is driving me up the wall.....it's portable, but apparently too underpowered to run putty without CPU stalls.....
We use USB-serial dongle cables from our laptops when necessary, but
have moved to ilom/ipmi cards in newer systems (last 5 years or so)
and Cyclades ACS boxes for the old systems.
