My UMAX SuperVISTA S-12 (6 years old now, amazing that the thing still
works, let alone produces quality images) works fine with SANE (which
*does* have a CLI interface!). It's supported through generic pass
driver. God, does SCSI rock. This scanner too, can't believe I bought
it originally for my Mac in 1995 and it still works... even on FreeBSD..
