The stock reply, if mt can run the drive, then you're home free.  With 
FC4, one might have to edit udev.conf to add a /dev/nst0, but that 
should be the extent of system requirements.

ftape-tools are for some jurassic tape drives that attached to a floppy 
controller.  Typically much less than 1GB devices.

I dare say zero usage of that rube goldburg contraption for all 
practical purposes today.

People having trouble with vz bouncing email to me should add the word
'online' between the 'verizon', and the dot which bypasses vz's
stupid bounce rules.  I do use spamassassin too. :-)
