Needless to say, you probably already realize that anything you are doing
with this old an Oracle will be unsupported by anyone, but here goes.

Things you must consider: 1) chances are your existing install is 32 bit
which means the app is also 32 bit, 2) 11i on those boxes will be 64 bit
and a lot of apps houses didn't play nice when they developed their code
(they won't easily port to 64 bit), 3) even if you can install (and get
stable) the 32 bit 7.3.4 Oracle on the 64 bit 11i, maybe the best use of
the time/money/resources would be to get on a more modern app.
