Connecting Two PCs Using a USB-USB Cable

Back in the old days one of the easiest ways to connect two computers together was over a serial connection using a null modem cable, of course you could network them together as well but at the time it was cost prohibitive.
"As for speed, the bridge chip can be USB 1.1 (12 Mbps) or USB 2.0 (480 Mbps). Of course we suggest you to buy an USB 2.0 bridged cable, because of its very high-speed. Just to remember, the standard Ethernet network works at 100 Mps, so the USB 2.0 cable will provide you a transfer rate almost five times higher than a standard network connection."
