So do I, in a way it's a lifeline.

In general a possible advantage of a port replicator is that it 
provides (extra ports and/or) more legacy ports, like a parallel port,
compared to a single-purpose adapter, and it's more likely that it'll 
work as expected. A docking station (or IBM's Bases) can have extra 
advantages like an own built-in power adapter, a second (backup) drive
or a slot for a PCI adapter. So in theory you can e.g. upgrade an USB 
1.1 notebook to USB 3.0 by using the right adapter in a docking 
station. As such you already have a serial adapter inside your 
notebook, without connector on the outside. So the hardware hardly 
adds anything complicated to your configuration. Of course one has to 
check the specs of the device of a specific hardware manufacturer. A 
port replicator could also replicate the existing external ports you 
already have, without unlocking other existing internal ports.
