AFAIK, FL is the last to drop support for these, as far as security backports
goes (as compared to updating packages to newer versions).

You can see if you can get a custom arrangement with

http://transition.progeny.com/

They killed off their support also, but their page leads me to believe

Other than that, I would think you are out of luck with 7.3 machines...
Just too old for anyone to take seriously any more...
