There are devices that let you hook up to computers over USB. They have some smarts in the middle. They usually enumerate as networking devices. 


hi-

thanks for your info!

Do you have a product in mind? I'd like to look at it and see how it performs. Maybe I should buy it and see if will work as a component for a system.

Go to your local CompUSA. They've got two or three different versions of exactly what you're asking about.

When you say, "other mac use it as a USB peripheral," I have to ask: "What KIND of peripheral?" You might want to learn a bit more about USB!

No, I mean, "what sort of peripheral should the other Mac be?" I mean, do you want it to be a video display? Do you want it to be an audio device? Do you want it to be a toaster over?

I'm trying to understand the USB class this would fall under. Maybe a "networking device" is the right one. I do need to learn more about it.

Those USB-to-USB bridges ARE networking devices, and as such the applications see them as network interfaces.

I guess I am trying to say that this is a solved problem!
