You don't have to do the cryptographic heavy lifting on the classic
computer. You can easily do the cryptographic heavy lifting on other
more contemporary computers which are used as a smart host for the
classic computers.
So, you do have to use "modern" computers, although you could then
connect classic computers to your "modern" computers.
RFC 6376 mentions a low default bar of RSA512 but one could use
libressl, which builds on less powerful computers.
