We had the the SCO Xenix 2.3.4 running the billing system for the water and sewerage company on my hometown (about 100k homes) till the 2000s. The software was written in SGBD (FoxPro-like DB).
It was up and running till 1997 on a i386 with 16MB RAM and 1gb SCSI serving dozens of users in various locations via VT100. No TCP/IP stack running, it was not supported by our hardware.
I bet lots of companies still has this kind of setup, at least I saw a retailer doing the same setup but running MF Cobol instead of SGBD.
