Haven't done this myself, but the USB Guide at
   http://www.linux-usb.org/USB-guide
describes how to do this with the Prolific plusb USB driver and a
special device/cable.  Apparently there are many companies that make
devices that work with this driver.
 
There is actually a usb device in the cable that both hosts talk to.
USB only allows hosts to connect to devices, not host to host directly.

Hope that helps,
