Yes, saned uses RPCs but it's not Sun RPC (if that's what you were
referring to).

The SANE RPC system is very simple and documented in the SANE API
document (http://www.mostang.com/sane/html/). My guess is that it
would be fairly easy to get the "net" backend going under Win32.
Writing the GUI part would be quite some work, though (basically,
you'd have to re-implement xscanimage).
