Yes, but only DAT and DLT, not LTO.  However, I do know the
124T LTO-3 works, as I've seen people on the amanda list using
it.

> How do I access them from Linux?

Differs slightly for autoloaders and libraries.  But generally you
can either access them like a normal tape drive and manually switch
the tapes, or you can use software like mtx to manage the autoloaders.

Yes, you can use RHEL + mtx + Amanda just fine with that model.

No idea about Bacula, etc.
