I have elm 1.7 working quite well on my SCO 2.2.1 (286) system. The only
problems I have noted so far are:

1) Encrypted mail does not work. Either with the hacked up non crypt code or
   with a 'real' crypt.o from an earlier development system (before irrational
   security paranoia set in).

2) If a user is in elm in some functions and gets disconnected the session
   remains running - SIGHUP appears to have been defused.

If you want a copy of my sources let me know, or if enough people want this
code to justify the bandwidth usage I'll be happy to post.
