I think the original spec was intended to rid with world of serial cables, e.g., when using a 2nd pc as a terminal for debugging. That didn't work because there are still many older devices like Ferrups UPS's that outlast half a dozen modern UPS's but use serial ports, so we all went out and bought USB to serial adapters, > Would anybody know of perhaps has tried, to hook up two > boxes directly via a passive usb 3.x type A cable and have > it as "regular" ethernet connection? > For higher than serial port speeds there are active cables but you need linux drivers. In many use cases (systems are close to a switch with empty ports or one of the systems has a spare ethernet port) you are better off with a USB to ethernet adapter because there are more choices that will work with linux. -- George N.
