  Hello,

  I have a scantak-12p, running on windows. And YES I know that both the
  scantak thingy and windows are not supported (-:X:-)

  However the windows is my father's and so is the scanner, I am just the
  parasite. Wat I would like to set up (ideal case) is: windows serving
  the scanner so that I can command it on Linux through the network.

  So I wonder: how hard is it to make a windows "daemon", a network
  server, for SANE? (And by that way, could SANE easily be ported to
  windows when using the GTK+ ports that are available for windows, or is
  there something more platform-independent next to the GUI?)

  Could such a SANE daemon exploit the already available and general TWAIN
  interface? (I guess not, but it would be so cool because it would enable
  you to serve almost any scanner from windows.)

  This is what I know about the scanner:

  ScanTak is from spot technologies, www.spotinc.com, "unable to locate
  the server" (didn't they pay their NIC fees for the coming year?).
  The available software is scanoffix, a "version of" ImageDock scanner
  software from onset technology,
  http://www.onsettechnology.com/scanoffix/ .
  But the copyright of the product lies with "Shonut Probabilistic
  Solutions Ltd". Furthermore the software uses:
  OCR Technology (Caere Corporation)
  AnyColor Technology (our beloved Shonut)
  Portions of the imaging technology (Accusoft corp)

  And yes, it is parallell.....

  What do you think, should I give up? Is there a good possibility that
  this scanner is compatible with one of the Great? Or is there a good way
  to get to the bottom with this scanner?

  Altavista has poor resources for it...

  Thanks,

  Stefan
