MOAWG, another cool module, excellent.
Anyway, another fact to consider is that USB cables have a length limit
of 5 meters. I believe they can be extended to 10 meters by using an
active repeating hub. The usb.org site recommends using Ethernet and a
2nd PC to extend over longer distances than this, as USB was designed
for desktop use. This may or may not be important for some of us.
Another thought.. as far as my experience goes, I've had better luck
communicating with Ethernet-based gear using various generations of
computer hardware and OSs then USB-based, especially with older setups.
