Our voicemail system runs on 6.2.  Sometimes I tinker with the idea of 
putting it into a Windows 2000 or better system so that I can get some 
remote access to it.  Then I remember I have other projects that 
probably take precedence to the tinkering.  ;)

Especially since it's just so solid when left alone.

We've replaced the hardware it runs on 3 or 4 times, always with 
cast-off gear that's too slow to run anything else.  But considering it 
started life on a 486-DX/50 with a whopping 8MB RAM, I don't think it 
can complain.
