Apple has built in a special driver for the Keyspan remore and the function is also built into itunes.

I check on the net, and Apple really recommand to only connect 1 and only one printer, 1 and only one remote sensor, or both using a USB hub.

Other brands are selling wireless USB hubs. They use Wifi and USB. If drivers are available for the mac, I would get one of this, connect the Beoport on one USB port, a USB soundcard on another one.

whoa! wait a minute... that sounds like that port is much more than a print server then!

i need to get my head around this one! ...or is the keyspan simply tricking the port??? -meaning this port is hackable and seemingly simply so?

You can only connect a printer or IR receiver from Keyspan

You would still need to connect the USB...

BeoPort with Airport Express

Is it possible to connect a Beoport to a apple computer wireless? Apple has the Airport Express with a Usb connection and an audio connection. So you think it's possible to connect a Apple macbook wireless with a Beoport. Does anybody know if it works.
