I just picked up a Viewsat VSPRO satellite receiver.  It has PVR  
functionality which records shows to a USB connected hard drive.  I  
want to get this data on my fileserver without having to physically  
move the drive to another machine and copy the files.

So, here's my idea...  I have a little embedded network device that  
runs linux.  It has a USB port on it.  I want it to act as a USB drive  
for the VSPRO, and then it would mount my fileserver over the network,  
and anything copied to it over USB would shoot over the network to my  
fileserver.  Is this possible?  Does someone make a commercial product  
that does this?

Does anyone have a better idea?
