At least this gave me a clue into the right direction: saned was 
malconfigured on the Linux host - the XP guest wasn't listed correctly 
in /etc/sane.d/saned.conf. After having done so, xsane recognizes my 
scanner as "net:192.168.2.5:snapscan:libusb:002.002" and I am able to 
make scans from WinXP.
Now I'm struggling to get SaneTwain to work in order to use the scan 
interface of applications like CorelDraw or OpenOffice.
Thanks, Klaus
