Can you tell me where exactly you found that information?

Well, I don't know any ACSLS-capable device, or rather, I might work 
with some of them, but don't use that feature.

Well, stating that Bacula is based on mtx is a misleading statement... 
you might also say that Bacula is based on echo, because it uses both 
mtx and echo.

I guess that you only need ACSLS in cases where the library is set up 
in a more complex way than strictly necessary for Bacula, perhaps if 
it's shared among different backup applications.

Typically, I would suggest to just try to control your library with 
mtx - if that works, nothing to worry about.

If you find that you have to use Sun's ACSLS management software, 
you'll probably have to modify mtx-changer to control the library 
through it. One way will be to use the web interface and more or less 
exchange the mtx calls with some program to submit and receive data 
from the web interface. If you want to use ACSLS more directly, you 
find the quick reference manual for the software at 
http://dlc.sun.com/pdf/ACSLS73QR/ACSLS73QR.pdf

But I strongly doubt that you'll need to use ACSLS at all - Sun claims 
more than 4000 users worldwide, and that indicates that ACSLS is not 
exactly required to use their libraries...

I hope this helps you moving forward,

If you need detailed help with this, I'd be glad to offer a support or 
consulting contract - your question and my quick review of what ACSLS 
does made me curious ;-)
