I'm interested in following up on remote image access in the context
of WWW, Gopher, WAIS access to scanned images. In particular, NetFax
doesn't really do justice to the case of access of 'remote books',
e.g., 300-500 page scanned image databases, where transfering the
entire book in netfax format before viewing the first page isn't
practical.

There were some people at the NIR workshop who were also interested in
this topic.
