I suppose that could work, but I don't see why it would be preferable to just
having the iPAQ on the network (probably via USB). Then you could remote the
display and keyboard from the desktop. If you were disconnected, then there
wouldn't be any way to talk to USB devices anyway, so it doesn't get any
additional functionality that I can see.
