SCO openserver 6 parallel port issues

I am having issues with SCO recognizing my parallel port. The port is being used so I can run dialogic using a dongle for the serial number but the port is not noticed. It is turned on in the bios and should work fine but when I attempt to run the software I get errno=6 and it appears to not be there. I also attempted using mkdev but because its 6 its supposed to set itself up. I am running the same software on another computer and it works fine the only diffrence is the system I am using know is an ISA board this might also affect it but I don't know. Is there a way to configure the port to recognize the dongle? If anyone can offer any assistance I would be very greatful Thankyou.
