FWIW: http://wearables.stanford.edu/ http://www.research.digital.com/wrl/itsy/index.html IIRC, they are not USB, but they could well be.

Really? Ethernet 10 Mb/s. Modems <56kb/s. T1 1.54Mb/s. Put a web server on the box, a T1, and a USB disk drive, and it should still be able to saturate the T1. And that is assuming only one USB port. Some of us wish we HAD a T1 to saturate. +C -- Thinking of purchasing RAM from the Chip Merchant?
