One important thing to remember about dosbox and Motorola RSS is that your PC needs a real serial port that has both windows and dos compatible drivers.
Preferably a 16540 style UART works best with a new PC, dosbox and some Motorola RSS software, still really old RSS like that for the syntor X9000 will not work in dosbox. Also as to USB adapters, I have never been able to get a USB to serial adapter to work with Motorola RSS and dosbox, you absolutely need a serial port that is dos capable.
