What do you mean by interface? Some application or library that uses a
scanner over the TWAIN interface?

I don't know much about TWAIN but I guess it isn't too easy to write
such a bridge on Linux beacuse of the link of twain to the widget
libraries. Also SANE and TWAIN are different in that SANE describes
the interface between driver and scan application while twain
describes the interface between scan application and image
manipulation tool.
