I worked for a company 4/5 years ago that had a Windows 2000 machine connected to a dial-up modem which sent all of the company's payroll data to ADP four times a month. It sat on top of a filing cabinet in the HR office.

One time I got a phone call when I worked in the NOC at about 11pm from the director of HR in a panic because the machine wasn't working and payroll was going to be sent out in 55 minutes. Luckily he just forgot his password and had gotten locked out.
