It so happens that I may have to build something similar at work here.
Right now, I have to press keys manually, and it's difficult to do any
kind of automated testing.  I need an external USB device, acting as
keyboard to the test machine that it's plugged into, but in reality
accepting input from me remotely.

I'm thinking 
    - simple forwarder between network port and usb port.
    - ssh into the device and run program/script on command-line. :-)
