I may be speaking out of ignorance, but since USB is a
Bus, much like ISA, EISA, PCI, VLB, MCA, etc., and not
a port, it would be pretty difficult to redirect it
through ICA or RDP, not to mention the USB devices
usually require drivers and those would have to be
ported as well. But that doesn't mean that they're not
thinking and/or working on it, but if USB redirection
was going to be available anytime soon, we'd have
likely already heard the buzz by now.
You may want to check out the AnywhereUSB device from
www.ionetworks.com - it does USB over IP. I've never
used or seen this, so I'm not giving an endorsement,
just a suggestion.
