[ale] IP over USB

[Phil Turmel]

Hi Boris,

The key to such a connection is that USB expects one end to be master 
and the other a slave.  Typical PC USB ports are all Masters.  So you 
need a device (not just a cable) that has master connections on both 
ends.  Some possibilities in this article:

Note that USB-C can be either master or slave, but generally not 
auto-selecting.  On my android phone, I can tell it to be a master 
instead of the default as a slave.
