I believe so. In this case instead of the computer at the other end 
being a Zarus, you have another PC, but, that shouldn't make any 
significant difference.

Once you have a USB console on machine x and machine y and a USB 
equivalent of a null modem cable.

The rest of this document

should be true, with the only difference being substituting /dev/tty for 
/dev/usb_console_device_name.

Or at least, that would be my expectation.
