Portmapper should be built into RH 7.3. I've never seen a network
release of Linux without it. I think you have to figure out what port
that the domino server listens to and make sure that the notes vclient
knows about it. The standard lotus notes port is 1352 (both TCP and
UDP). 

In essence, a server binds itself to a specific port, and listens for
connections to that port. 
Also, make sure that the firewall in RH 7.3 is not blocking that port
for internal clients. (For testing, just disable the firewall (iptables
or ipchains).
