I've got one pc running win2k and one running win98se2 and would like to direct connect them via USB.
Is there a way to do this without having to buy special cables?
Thanx for your help!

Why would you connect two PCs over USB??? That's totally crazy!
Go and get two FireWire adapters and a standard FireWire cable, it's dirt cheap now and the speed is 400MBps compared to USB's 12MBps...
