For this specific case and given the way SANE works, it doesn't really matter where the scanner is physically plugged in, so it may well work out easier, physical restrictions permitting, to plug a scanner into the server and share it SANEly from there. Likewise printers and CUPS, modems and ssh. A generic character-over-IP device driver - if none already exists for Linux - would even permit sharing mice, keyboards et al like that. (-: Cheers; Leon
