I've read and re-read docs/UPGRADING*.
Things are going quite smoothly so far, as this is a
pretty stock old install of 3.4.2 heading to 4.0.4
on a totally different box.
Question:
Importing the old MySQL 'rt3' database as 'rt4'
How? Edit the dump file?
Thanks for any further help!

is likely to work?
1. Dump all RT 3.4.2 data from MySQL 4.1 (database 'rt3')
2. Stand up new server with RT 4.x and modern MySQL
3. Import old data
Not with just those steps, but yes, of course you can upgrade from 3.4.2
to 4.0.4. Carefully read and follow the instructions in the
UPGRADING.mysql, UPGRADING-3.4, UPGRADING-3.6, UPGRADING-3.8, and
UPGRADING-4.0 documentation.
You have a large upgrade ahead of you, but it's well documented and
fairly straightforward.
http://blog.bestpractical.com/2011/07/upgrading-to-rt-4.html is a gentle
introduction, but it does not try to cover all of the individual steps
you'll need to take, just the general process.
