How many documents are you planning to process a day? The only interface on that thing is USB. I would suggest having something like a FIT-PC2 (http://fit-pc2.com/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page) as the controller for it. If I understand the sane docs correctly, you can run the sane back-end on one machine and the front end on another. That lets people share it, or you can script it. Or you could have the scripts drop the things into an SMB/NFS/AFS/NFS/whatever server on the controller and let other machines process them from there. My 7780 will dump across the net to an SMB server, so you should be able to find a scanner like this one which will do that. -- Charles Curley /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign Looking for fine software \ / Respect for open standards and/or writing?
