Hello, 

I was just wondering: If you have a laptop, and you have acces to a windows pc,
would it be possible to make the laptop running linux pretend to be a usb mass
storage device (making one directory in your filesystem look like the root of a
harddrive to the windows pc). So in other words: Connect the notebook to the pc
with a usb cable so that the notebook looks like a usb HD to windows. 
Does a driver for this exist (I've searched on the internet but couldn't find
anything) and if not, would it be hard to create and what cable would be needed?

In case you're wondering why this could possibly be usefull: if you have acces
to a pc where you can't change the network configuration (because you don't have
admin rights) plip and ethernet won't help you. So if you want to transfer data
to and from this pc to the laptop I think this would be an easy sollution (the
question is off course, is it possible to implement, my knowledge of usb and 
kernel development at the moment is very small, but I'm willing to learn a lot 
if I know there is a reasonable chance on succes).

Greets,

Jan
