?? It is in the sane package that can be found on
http://www.mostang.com/sane.

I have checked V 0.72, and it has a subdirectory doc, that contains net.tex
which describes the RPCs that make up the net protocol.

For an actual implementation reference, see :

sanei/sanei_codec_ascii.c
sanei/sanei_codec_bin.c
sanei/sanei_net.c
sanei/sanei_wire.c
backend/net.c
frontend/saned.c

This should provide you with quite enough reference and a bunch of convenience
functions to access the sane net protocol.

Actually what you need to do, is to rewrite backend/net.c in a way that
it exports a TWAIN interface, or write a SANE->TWAIN bridge interface
that is simply linked to net.c.

CU,Andy
