I've installed Prayer on a SUN IPX,  then SPARCclassic. Seemed to mostly
work, any holes probably being my lack of time invested on it. Both boxes
are tiny by modern standards (52MB and 48MB resp.), so any PC should be
able to run it. Had a problem with sent emails not actually being marked
as sent when in fact they are. But as I said, I probably cocked something
up due to lack of time.
