        <description><![CDATA[If, e.g. you work in a lab. I've used USB frame grabbers, DAQs and spectrometers. It'd be nice sometimes to not to tie these devices to a particular computer. The vendor site says print and storage server so I'm guessing it's limited to those types of devices.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[I've used lan-Usb print servers and fallen foul of the 2-way operation for scanners and found the cost/benefit for 2-way operationb tricky. For this disk and scanners handling device, it too is a bit expensive compared to using an old laptop, but I guess you pay extra for the neat packaging, diskless operation conveniences (oh and maybe a M$ license if reviving a dead PC). Will certainly consider,however, I think Keyspan ought to kick their UK distributors as none feature it on their web-sites yet; so that's an import job or procrastination for me.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[It depends on which manufacturerWhat operating systemThe scanning softwareI have heard of some scanners working with these types of devicesI have never seen it happen first handGetting any scanner to work over a network is tricky so you need to know a lot about networks and scanning softwareSome people will say why bother you have to put the paper to be scanned in the scanner so why use it over a networkThe first reason is thisYou will not have to interrupt the person using the pc the scanner is attached toThe next reason is thisSome scanners have sheet feedersSo you can do it from your own desktop pcIf you have 100 sheets to scan you don?t have to wait by the scannerIf you choose to use one of these network USB devicesGo to the website of the company that makes themLook for info about what scanners or other devices they supportIf you don?t find what you want send them an email]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[This is only theoretical but handhelds with WIFI but no USB eg. PDAs, mobile phones (iphone?), Skype phones, might possibly do things like1)   Print SMS to USB printers2)   Print email attachments from mobile phone to USB printers3)   Backup mobile phone directly to USB drive eg. phonebook, SMS, voice, video4)   Upload/dowmload mp3 files to USB drive5)   Scan images to mobileAgain, assuming the necc drivers are available.]]></description>
