Ask HN: Who's still keeping a DOS machine up because the business depends on it?

Not DOS, but my company has a Windows XP machine with a dialup connection that I have to keep running for obtuse legal reasons.
If it goes down, the company gets fined. It happened in the gap between my predecessor leaving, and me being hired.

  Does it have to be a XP box or is just keeping a serial dialup connection working the key?
