    FWIW, I had an experience doing some work for Phillip Morris
    where they had me connect two (PowerMacs?) laptops with a SCSI
    cable (actually, two cables hooked together). I didn't really get to
    much of a chance to quiz the guy on what was going on, but it
    worked quite nicely. I believe that, except for the home made cable,
    it was a program run on the Mac which made the connection
    possible. This means (to me, anyway, not being a programmer) that
    perhaps somebody could write a kernel module of some sort to do
    this. Anyway, all this to say, I have seen it work, but don't exactly
    know how.
