[sane-devel] Xsane through ssh tunnel to saned -- how to ?

[Mattias Ellert]

Hi!

There is a patch attached to this bugreport:

https://alioth.debian.org/tracker/?func=detail&aid=301377&group_id=30186&atid=410366

This patch allows you to configure saned to use a specific port range
for its data connections. I don't know if this is exactly what you are
looking for.
