LTO works all the way back to version3.  It is just device.  Define it as
generic tape.

        Wouter,

        This is an interesting point...
        We recently purchased a Tivoli and LTO solution and planned to
        use this to backup multiple chambers across a firewall.  It worked
        well in tests using TSM v3.7 because we could use client side
polling.
        Now I'm a little concerned because we purchased LTO as a part of
this
        solution...

                You need at least TSM V 4.1.3 to have support for LTO
devices !!

                When your are sure about this you can use the command (for
example) :
                def devclass tape_class devtype=lto format=drive
library=ltolib
