I have two computers with USB ports. I wish them to communicate as simply as mid-20th-century computers did. Then we used RS232-C with a null modem &/or appropriate software software at both ends. The underlying problem is that both ends egotistically expect to be *MASTER*. The hardware problem is solvable [e.g. http://www.ftdichip.com/Products/Cables/USBtoUSB.htm]. The software is another case :< The best Linux specific link I've found is dated September 2005 [http://www.linux-usb.org/usbnet/] I've done DuckDuckGo searches for permutations/combinations of usb, "peer to peer", lan, and bridge. Most is Windows/Mac centric. There were hints that needed drivers may exist in current Linux core. Pointers to good references and/or better search terms? TIA
