I don't think so. Maybe you have used an address that wasn't
subscribed at that time.

There is japi, it's in the sane-backends source code. It's a library
to allow access to sane over java, there is also a java frontend. This
code is quite old and I wan't able to get it running.

Silvio Vogt <blackhol at web.de> has worked on fixing/updating the
java code, but it's not completely finished yet. Contact him for
details.

There is no backend for Microsoft Windows. Well, to be exact, the net backend
works on MS Windows in a hacked version together with xsane.

I guess porting to MS Windows would be a major hazzle and nobody who
uses this oerating system seems to be interested in doing this.

Links to frontends and other stuff for MS Windows can be found on the
SANE homepage.

Bye,
