I would have thought it would be better to stick some network cards in
them if poss. Afterall, USB is slow compared to standard ethernet at
100MB as you are finding and it would be more standard to use ethernet.
Surely the cost of it being unreliable is outweighing doing it this
way. You seem to be making a lot of work for yourselves.
