I thought someone just said that VISTA doesn't support Serial
Connections? <g> I guess they meant DB25 ....

But it is correct that you cannot use a straight USB to USB cable with
the same connectors on each end to link two PCs -- according to USB.org
-- and these special cables are I presume like the USB to Serial cables
that my Nokia phone wants to use to connect to a PC.

Easiest is to do it over ethernet?
