When I did some research into TWAIN network scanner access a couple of months
ago, the UMAX was the only one I could find, and I gather it uses some sort
of proprietary protocol specific to the UMAX; whereas under SANE any scanner
is network accessible. It would be really cool if the SANE protocol became
some sort of defacto (or even official) standard for remote scanner access
even under TWAIN, since the TWAIN standard doesn't specify such a protocol.
