To do TSM LAN free with STK ACSLS attached libraries, you will need Gresham
EDT. IBM/Tivoli does not support LAN free on ACSLS libraries. To get
around this, EDT changes the library definition to EXTERNAL from a TSM
viewpoint and allows for the drive sharing (other benefits include media
handling enhancements, etc.). Got lots of customer references if you need
any.
Please contact me if you have any questions or need more info.

I believe ACSLS was added in one of the level 5 releases; but I'm not
positive.
