Yes that is the exact product and this is the biggest hint to get that the
maker is confirming nothing 'nasty' is done in the protocol and a generic
protocol (even though Twain which I think is Windows friendly) would work.
I think I'll first chase this hint, before resuming trying to reverse
engineer the protocol if required.

Vendor supplies own driver. Not sure if they wrap twain under it.

Thanks for all the hints. I'll go after twain first and then try other
tools.
