Is there a way of sharing a USB port over Ethernet? I have a scanner attached to one machine and want to use it with two machines. They are in diffrerent offices.

To date, we have scanned locally and shared the scanned file, but I'd like to avoid that step, as it pulls one person off that PC while scanning. I'd also like to avoid moving the scanner each time we need to use it.

Both machines are Windows 2000 Pro, set up as a peer-to-peer network. Both have USB ports.

THANKS!
