Perhaps the SANE library could be used as a base for > something saner (if you'll forgive the pun). IMHO the first good step would be teaching SANE to speak 9P (as replacement for its own protocol), then split it off into several packages - moving drivers to their own processes and step by step port the whole thing to Plan9 (maybe through the linux emulation). Maybe this could be combined with my suggested 9P camera stuff ;-) cu -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Enrico Weigelt, metux IT service -- http://www.metux.de/ phone: +49 36207 519931 email: weigelt@metux.de mobile: +49 174 7066481 icq: 210169427 skype: nekrad666 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Embedded-Linux / Portierung / Opensource-QM / Verteilte Systeme ----------------------------------------------------------------------
