Re: [lug] USB networking

[Seth de l'Isle <szoth@ubertechnique.com>]

You know, when you set up a usb modem you get virtual serial ports.  I wonder
if it would be possible to just connect a couple of computers USB to USB and
do SLIP over them -- with weekend comming sounds like a project.  Even more
amusing would be getting a couple of USB to parallel converters and doing PLIP!

j0seph get to work!
