Is the current port of vmware2 able to let a guest use the serial port?
I have to use a cross-compiler for Windows that uses a parallel port
dongle for copy protection for a class I am currently taking; but, all
my machines are running commercial Unix and FreeBSD.  When I
try to configure VMWare to use the parallel port I get the following
error:

    Can't open /dev/lpt0: No such device or address
    Device parallel0 will start disconnected

Host info:
    > uname -a
    FreeBSD tigger 4.5-RC3 FreeBSD 4.5-RC3 #1:
    Thu Jan 31 11:26:50 EST 2002
    root@tigger:/usr/src/sys/compile/FBSD_TIGGER  i386

    > pkg_info | grep vmware
    vmware2-2.0.4.1142

Any advice is appreciated.  Thanks.
