I was afraid of this. I'll look at Keyspan maybe it's a solution.
Thank you Clark, very much. Greetings, Andre
In Panther, one is supposed to be able to share scanners (and digital cameras) through Image Capture. If you have a desktop machine running Panther, and your Powerbook is also on Panther, then you may be able to achieve scanner sharing that way. Just set the preferences in Image capture to share devices in one mac and to look for shared devices in the other.
I have tried to do it myself, to see if it would work. I was able to share my digital camera, but my scanner (actually an hp printer/scanner/copier) could not be shared (it did not even appear in the list of shareable devices in Image Capture). This was not a total surprise, because hp explicitly states that this psc 750 is not networkable (and it does not even work as a shared printer with usb print sharing :-(). Depending on the scanner model that you have, you might have more luck.
I can't help expressing my admiration for Rendezvous... I could see my (Powerbook connected)digital camera pictures in Safari (running in my kids' B&W) by just selecting it from the Rendezvous tab... no need to look for addresses, etc. (though it also works with http:/address.of.sharing.mac:5100). Amazing!
