    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.
