no devices available?

This is clearly a user question, but there doesn't seem
to be a sane-user@mostang.com, nor is one referenced in
the web pages (that I could find)

Anyway...

I just installed sane v1.00 on my machine (running BSD/OS)
It compiled, built, and installed without error.

I have a UMAX Astra 1200S at /dev/scanner. It's permissions
are 666. (Anyone can read or write them) The OS and the BIOS
both see the printer. OS diagnostics show the Astra at that
device.

/usr/local/etc/sane.d/saned.conf contains just the line:
localhost

/usr/local/etc/sane.d/umax.conf contains just the line:
/dev/scanner

/usr/local/etc/sane.d/dll.conf contains just the lines:
net
umax

The inetd.conf and /etc/services entries are correct.
("telnet localhost sane" gets a connect, and saned runs)

But "scanimage --list-devices" lists no devices.

I'm probably doing something wrong, but I don't know how to
diagnose the problem. Is there a command I can enter from
the telnet session to list the devices? What else could I
be doing incorrectly?
