Michael,

I tried sending this directly to you at your redhat.com address, but it
bounced back to me, so I'm posting to the list.

I've got an Astra600S and I'd really like to get it working with Linux and
Sane, so I'll consider sending it to you. But first perhaps we could do
this over the 'net. If you could let me know what kind of information
you are hoping to get from it, perhaps I can extract this info and send it
on to you. Please contact me via e-mail to discuss further.
