From memory they don't support lpt ports (for similar reasons) wheras you can multi play games with serial ports so they do support those.
There exists some branch of DOSBox called MegaBuild. [3]
It implements LPT port emulation and enhances serial port emulation (at least for DirectSerial mode -- now MegaBuild5 switches DSR-DTR/DCD signal pair (and CTS-RTS one also) correctly with appropriate hardware loopback used.
LPT hardware loopback works also with DOS application.
Official DOSBox doesn't do that, so I believe you could use MegaBuild for games also.
