    Hi Ben,

    that is a problem of sane-net/saned and not of xsane.
    The problem is in fact that saned exits when there is no
    communication for some time.

    We did not decide how to solve this.
    In the moment you only can change this by changing a backend
    option every few minutes.

    I hoped we would get a patch for this in sane-1.0.5 but it
    does look this did not happen.

    Bye
    Oliver
