Cluster via USB

[Dan Yocum]

Sven,

Check the linux-ha archives from early October last year for some
discussions between Alan Robertson and Eric Ayers on providing
communication over USB.  The goal was to provide a serial heartbeat over
PPP on USB and if I recall correctly, Eric was successful.  Of course,
with a heartbeat, bandwidth and speed aren't critical, but it's a
starting place.  The archives are here:

Hope that helps,
Dan
