   Thanks to everyone who answered.

   Based on the lists, got a Benq 5000U from the store down
the street.  It came with SANE 1.0.4 source on the CD-ROM!
Nevertheless, I'm going with SANE 1.0.11 from Slackware 9.0.

   Now I'm fighting through SANE documentation, but I'm
confident I'll come out the other side with something.

        Regards.        Mel.
