There are USB host-to-host cables which, with the "usbnet" driver, let you transfer data using the network stack at more or less standard Ethernet speeds (10 Mbit/sec).
I've had better luck with the more expensive Belkin products than the cheaper Prolific based ones, but as they say "your mileage may vary". (The "usbnet" driver does recover when the Prolific devices lock up under load, but the cost is that throughput goes way down.) If what I heard about a LapLink USB cable was correct, that'd be worth using too. - Dave ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rakesh A.
