Hi!

I’m the administrator of a small dentists office. The IT is Macintosh based, 
with a FreeNAS Server, with one exeption: the workstation used for XRay 
operation has to run windows because of ONE missing twain driver for OS X.

The scanner is the following model: 

http://www.duerrdental.com/en/products/imaging/vistascan-image-plate-scanner/vistascan-mini-plus/?changeLang=1

It can be attached by USB, but in our case it uses a network connection over IP.

If i could sniff this network connection and record the communication between 
the twain driver and the scanner - is there anyone out there willing to help me 
write a sane driver? The manufacturer has no interest so far in supporting 
anything but windows.

Another Idea: wouldn’t it be possible to install the original Twain driver into 
a wine bottle and write a sane driver which can pass through the twain commands 
from the bottle to a native interface on the unix side? This would be a GREAT 
workaround, too.

Thanks for your time,
Jörg-Ch. Knochen
