<p>
Brian&gt; A bit of a thought that I've been interested in for quite<br>
Brian&gt; some time... what do you all think of having the net backend<br>
Brian&gt; writing the data during a scan to a file. At the same time a<br>
Brian&gt; thread (or whatever is appropriate) writes the file out the<br>
Brian&gt; data socket. That way if you have a slow network connection<br>
Brian&gt; (which it can easily be slower than a SCSI scanner) your<br>
Brian&gt; scanner doesn't play the two steps forward, one step back<br>
Brian&gt; game.<br>
<p>
On the down-side, if the scan server doesn't have sufficient disk<br>
space, it could prevent you from scanning altogether. Also, if you do<br>
have a fast link, writing it to the disk could slow things down. I<br>
still think it might be a good idea to do some buffering, but it's<br>
something that needs careful consideration.<br>
