    Hi Nick,

    so you say that:
    - frontend/sane-net crash
    - system shutdown of frontend machine

    is handled by the tcp stack for unix, win32, os/2?

    Then I would suggest we set the time to e.g. 24 hours
    (this makes sure that saned does exit if an unexpected error occurs)
    and add a function in sane-net (may be supported by saned)
    that makes it possible to find out if saned has exit.
    Then we can add an error code SANE_STATUS_NETWORK_CONNECTION_LOST
    or something like that and the frontend will be able to inform
    the user about it.

    Bye
    Oliver
