  Works fine:
  scanimage -d microtek2:/dev/scanner > test.image

  I have both /etc/sane.d/sane.conf and net.conf accepting localhost per the
  directions.

  Fails (RPC Call cannot allocate memory)
  scanimage -d net:localhost:microtek2:/dev/scanner > test.image

  I have 32 meg of memory on a 486. The goal is to have the fewest
  resources possible tied up with doing the scanning since parport virtually
  shuts the machine down for the duration of the scan. inet.conf and
  services files are configured per the documentation.

  1) Is my syntax correct for invoking sane-net on a localhost? (theory is
  if I can't make it happen on the localhost, I can't make it happen over
  the LAN)

  2) I could get it to scan on 16Meg, same results and errors, why does the
  RPC call fail to allocate enough memory since I doubled it?

  3) Once properly configured and tested, how do I have xscanimage to try
  the network scanner rather than failing for no-scanner-found?

  Thank you.
