No, no, no... as far as supported hardware goes, SANE has absolutely
nothing to do with TWAIN. "It's got a TWAIN driver" means nothing;
any driver for Windows or MacOS is going to be a TWAIN driver.
Remember.... a TWAIN driver is both frontend and backend rolled into
one. It's essentially a plug-in. Imagine if there were a different
"xscanimage" (which operates as a Gimp plug-in) for each brand of
scanner. That's TWAIN.
What is being written (and please correct me if I'm wrong) is a TWAIN
driver-frontend-plug-in-thing which speaks the SANE Network Protocol,
and thus will allow a Windows box to remotely access a scanner on a
(Un*x) machine running 'saned'.
