Paralel port dongle access via ethernet/ port redirection

Hi,

my company wants me to figure out, if there is a possibility to use a
dongle (Hardlock E-y-e) over TCP/IP. There is a software, that needs a
dongle and should be accessed via a remote computer.
Firstly, I thought of simply attaching the dongle to a "pinter port to
ethernet" adaptor, that you can make your printer work within the LAN.
But this won't work, as stated here somewhere, because these adaptors
don't perform a clean protocol conversion (as far as I know), but
somekind of wired stuff.
VNC is the last option to handle the problem, a transparent
redirection of the port would be great.
Does anyboby know a possibility to solve this?

Thx in advance,
Dominik

It is special software for rf-testing under windows 2000 on an old
Intel Pentium 166 machine with 64 Mb ram.

No donglewar, legal software license present. This should
not be about cracking, but about using one license for one computer at
a moment, so please no piracy discussion.
