I did a DuckDuckGo search for "USB-net interface" {with/without quotes}.
Found several interesting links, but not sure if any are what you are
speaking of. A link to specific device(s) you refer to?
so it's effectively an ethernet cable.
I purposely used the term "null modem". I date from an era/industry
where where 20 mA current loop was preferred over RS-232C for its noise
immunity. Since USB 1.0 I've considered "universal" of USB an
unfortunate choice of adjectives. The intrinsic implementation of
hardware to forever be either a *MASTER* or slave is annoying.
Most modern distributions just work. The one you link is
a USB-to-serial-to USB. That is not ideal for transferring files.
Depends on your metric.
If you
are unclear on what the "link" cable supports, you can always just buy two
usb-ethernet adapters and an ethernet cable to go in the middle.
That explicitly is to be avoided as an unnecessary complication.
Maybe more adpatable than a "link cable".
I want a USB cable that is as functional (my metric) as a RS-232 cable
of decades past. The only observable difference would be max available
speed.

It would seem an appropriate solution for some file sharing between two
Linux machines which have only USB 2.0 in common.
Has anyone used this or a similar product.
TIA
