>I've got an Alva ABT380 connected to my Linux laptop on the parallel
>port. 

The Alva uses its parallel port in a non-standard way and they've never been
willing to reveal what they do so brltty doesn't support it.

>There isn't a serial port on the laptop so this is the only option.

You could use a USB to serial adapter and then tell brltty to use one of the
USB serial devices, e.g. ttyUSB0.
