I think there were some changes in the net/saned code since 1.0.1 but
you may look at the ChangeLog of 1.0.3 to verify this.
You may compile only your backend by removing all but umax and net
from RELOADABLE_BACKENDS in backends/Makefile. Compiling on a faster
computer and transfering should also work.

That depends on your configuration (etc/syslog.conf). Here I can look at
/var/log/messages or /var/log/daemon. On the console you get the
messages from the backends (if you set the variables).

Depends on your shell. That's the way it works with bash. Try
setenv SANE_DEBUG_UMAX=255
saned -d128
With bash you could also use
export SANE_DEBUG_UMAX=255
saned -d128
or look in the documentaion of your shell how to set variables.

I'm not sure if there were any bugs in umax.c concerning scanning over
the net in 1.0.1. Maybe Oliver Rauch can answer this.
