i don't know if this is the right place, if not please re-direct me before
shooting :-)

we have a tape changer (QUALSTAR TLS-4222i), with 2 scsi tapes,
now since both tar and dump understand -f host:/dev/sa, the next thing i did
was to make mt (MT(1)) understand it, so that i now can manipulate the
tape from afar, without having access permitions to host.

the next step it to see how - if at all - mt should understand things like:
	'host:/dev/sa0:115' meaning mount tape 115 on /dev/sa0
or more ambitious:
	'host:/dev/tape:100@10:45pm' mount tape number 100, on any free device
		not earlier than 10:45pm

if you can see where im going to, and have suggestions, they are welcome.

danny
