I have not examined any one other than the Dell 1600n but I am not aware 
of any standard protocol or driver.

The way I figured out how to write the perl driver was by running a packet 
sniffer (ethereal) and then looking at the network traffic during a scan 
using the windows driver.  Good luck!

cheers,
Jon
