For GNUmed to directly access the TWAIN data source implies to me that  
it is GNUmed that is providing the user with controls to operate the  
scanner for example setting not only the filename and filetype but  
also the scanning parameters like resolution etc.

Is that what is being said above, or is it still not "direct", meaning  
GNUmed is still expecting to access software that will be the  
intermediary and perhaps – in some way – remote-controllable by GNUmed.

What does a user experience when on Windows twainmodule was loaded?  
Does this result in the opening-up of a standard WIndows default  
client through which the user can apply settings to the scan about to  
be acquired?
