A regular USB cable with the same type connectors should do it. Do *not* know the cosequence though, never tried it. The USB port on the comp. supplies power to the devices on the USB bus. Not sure what will happen if you connect it to an USB port on another comp. directly. You may want to isolate the computer USB ports from each other thru USB modems - just a thought. > Any suggestions for such a device ? how much would it cost ? Please share what kind of application you have in mind with such a setup - networking like ppp over a serial link? It is hard to suggest any thing without understanding what it is you are trying to achieve with such a connection. > Is there any downside to using such cable ie in terms of > performance for example ? Depends on your application. If it is just a dumb terminal that connects over the serial/USB link then no issues. -- Arun Khan ------------------------------------ ============================================================== (2nd Saturday) Technical Meetups, Hackathons, Workshops, BoFs Events : http://events.twincling.org/ Photos : http://photos.twincling.org/ Blog : http://blogs.twincling.org/ Website : http://www.twincling.org/ Registered "not for profit" Open Source promotion organization Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh, India. ============================================================== Yahoo!
