Hello,

I want to make an applicaton to connect two PCs via an USB cable.
As far as I read from the MSDN site, I can do this without having to
write a specific driver, because I already know what application is at
the other end of the connection, so I can use raw read/write directly
to the port(I guess using something like CreateFile/WriteFile...).
Can anyone give me an idea on where to start, or some sample
code on how to do this.

Thanks
Bogdan
