Resurrecting an ancient question:
DOS copy protection dongles, however, are generally just LPT passthrough devices. If you use one of the parallel-port-capable builds like HAL's, you'd be able to use an actual physical dongle.
I have a physical dongle, I am using the latest DosBox, and I can't get the program running on DosBox to recognize the dongle.
This is not a game program, its for another piece of Dos software.
Help Please.

From your post it seems you have solved this yourselve. If it works with special builds use the special builds.

I have just tried the Megabuild version which hangs up like the standard version, not exactly sure I have the parallel port configured properly...
