  John,

  If your setting up a network scanner server you may wish to have a look
  at the work we are doing in this area at www.objects.com.au.

  We've written a Java toolkit for communicating with the saned and are
  currently working on a series of related products. Currently we have a
  scanning frontend available for testing/evaluation, and will be
  releasing a servlet next week allowing scanning directly from your
  browser. In addition to this we are also looking at building some SANE
  testing tools, and even TWAIN integration options.

  Maybe you have some ideas, or something in particular you would like. If
  so then contact us at josi@objects.com.au and we'll be happy to discuss
  your requirement with you.

  Thank you for your time
  Mick Barry
  Objects Pty Ltd
