The Amstrad E3 is a cheap (£29.99 at the time of writing) videophone, which runs Linux.

More info:

  • ["E3 Getting Started"] - how to get started running a recent Linux on your E3
  • ["E3 IO Ports"]
  • ["E3 Buying one"] - where to buy and how much they'll cost

Simple Serial Cable:

In case other people are as useless as I am at building serial cables - here is the pin out I'm using to connect my E3 to a 9-Pin D serial port on my PC.

  • Pin2 -> Tip

  • Pin3 -> Ring

  • Pin5 -> Sleeve

Or you can use a level shifter, a universal (i.e. E2/E3) design is available here http://www.cambridgewargames.org.uk/members/andy/emailer/
