Rich, maybe you do not understand the question: Machine A has an USB port Machine B is a server which use an USB port for its program Machine A "OFFER" its USB port to machine B to use! Example: Machine A has on the USB port a camera Machine B has a webcam program which uses machine A's camera All others, than a program is not useful for this application. And, worse, I avoid M$ as much as I can, so I need to get this function to work between Linux client and Linux server. ;-) bye Ronald MANY THANKS ALSO TO ALEX AND CORNI.
