You can't connect a PC to an Xbox and play Halo via a hub, can you? In theory, you should be able to - the hub/network has no protocols, and is just sharing data packets between ports. If the data is compatible, then the receiver can use it, right? Or wrong? I'm pretty sure you can't, but it would be cool if you could.

Nah, didn't think so. I'm sure someone has got some fancy setup using MAMe, or something like that. Probably a big, chunky Linux geek. Oh well -thanks gang!

It's a good idea though, perhaps a project for undergrad students.
