The protocol itself is byte order clean, but not the image date
transfer...

Do local scans work or scans over localhost?
For debugging saned/net use the following:
Start saned from commandline as
# export SANE_DEBUG_YOURBACKEND=128
# saned -d128
and start scanimage on the other pc as
$ export SANE_DEBUG_NET=128
$ scanimage -L
note that saned also produces output for syslog.
In your case, I think, saned isn't even accessed by the net backend...
maybe your client has no access rights on the saned port on your sparc?

This is always the same... sanei_w_space can't read from the pipe and
returns. The next call to sanei_w_space generates a sig11... I've
attached a simple patch, maybe you get a better error-msg with this one.

Could you please try this patch? and if it works (e.g. doesn't segfault
anymore), please send the output from saned & scanimage... thanks
BTW. the patch was made against the current cvs tree but it should also
work with SANE 1.0.3.
