Not me at the moment, but unless you tunnel it inside another protocol, you'd
really want to look at the existing USB-over-IP protocols instead of
reinventing the wheel:
http://usbip.sourceforge.net/ (some support in Linux already IIRC)
(and there are others which I don't recall)

Yeah it'd be nice to avoid code duplication.
Does RDP have such feature ?
I'd think it should be possible to add this to VNC somehow, since it has
provisions for extensions.
