Well, you started out talking about RS232 and null modem cables, so 
don't be surprised if people are having trouble figuring out what you're 
asking for. Then you asked for better ideas. Then you got mad about all 
the ideas and started laughing hysterically. I have no idea what you 
actually want at this point.

So you can't articulate what you're trying to do at all? That will 
certainly reduce the odds of getting helpful advice.

It seems like you want to connect two computers via USB "just because". 
Good luck with that.
