Just a wild guess: If xsane 0.83 was linked directly against the net
backend and 0.96 was linked against the dll backend the format would be:
xsane.exe net:ip-of-scan-server:device

At least on Unix systems there is the SANE_DEFAULT_DEVICE varaiable
that preselects the device to use. That means you only have to press
enter.
