I have an HP laptop with docking station and the docking station provides serial and parallel ports. The question is: are these "real" ports (just like built ins) or do they behave as USB dongle versions? One could easily imagine that the docking station did nothing more sophisticated that emulating a USB dongle, but then again, it does access the docking connector so there is some hope it connects directly to the bus.
