and the Kit works correctly then he could be chuggin along at 480m..

Big if with USB2

Long USB runs need ot be converted to RJ-45 anyways. So unless the
computers are close together, USB network isn't viable.



You guys really Love your NIC's ..
Granted tho, Old dogs dont like new tricks ..

As I said.. If he's going a short path and has usb2 then it's a good
thing..

As to computers not having nic's in them meaning they dont have usb2,
that's a silly statement as I do indeed have a motherboard with a usb2
port and no onboard NIC..

What board is that?

I have made my own null modem cables in the past using wires (just because
it wasnt something I could actually purchase and get within 2 or 3
weeks)..
I have cut cat5 cable and rewired it when I had no crossover adapter (do
it correctly and you dont get signal loss nor a speed drop)
I know what Standard is..
and USB2 is also a standad (tho there are more official terms for it)..
