parallel dongle via USB-ish connection?

I've got a Dongle-type-license for Maya so that I can use it both at work and at home.

I've also got one of those nifty Toshiba tablets which is groovy because I can use my pen in Photoshop, Alias Sketchbook, etc.

Unfortunately, the laptop does not have a built in parallel port. I've tried a couple of different USB-to-parallel cables and "docking station" devices but have not been able to get Maya to recognize the Dongle.

Does anyone know of a device that will work for me, or of a way to install the dongle on a machine that has a parallel port and "float" the license to my laptop so I can take advantage of the tabletish features and also have access to Maya when I travel?
