I never heard of such a possibility but that is not sufficient to proove 
it does not exist. ;)

Because of its master/slave architecture USB is not suitable for sharing 
among hosts. Which host should be the master?... Timing is also a very 
delicat matter. The drivers for Windows I know lock the USB port on the 
sharing machine so at any given time only *one* computer has access to 
USB - directly or over the net.

Anyway, what do you need it for? E.g. scanner can be shared on the net 
using sane.
