Turn USB devices into networked devices

Keyspan is developing a USB-server, so that you can attach a USB device to a network and share it among Macs and PCs:

"Share a USB printer or scanner …, turn a USB hard drive into a simple file server, make USB devices available via Wifi", etc. The router-sized server sports 4 12Mbps USB ports with full 500mA of power per, 10/100 RJ45 network port, and static, DHCP, and Rendezvous IP.
