A Newton (obvious), a desktop computer with a serial port of a USB-to-serial
adapter and a real serial cable. Beware that modem cables can often be
mistaken for a serial one, but they are not the same.

dangling pointer n.: [common] A reference that doesn't actually lead
anywhere (in C and some other languages, a pointer that doesn't actually
point at anything valid). Usually this happens because it formerly pointed
to something that has moved or disappeared. Used as jargon in a
generalization of its techspeak meaning; for example, a local phone number
for a person who has since moved to the other coast is a dangling pointer.
