I'm not sure if the "phone home"
was an SGI feature, or
something that they'd cooked up themselves. It seemed like a useful
feature for any kind of environment where uptime was crucial.
Computers with build in diagnosis?

It's the only time I've personally seen the "call back to base and order
new parts" feature - plenty of setups where the machine would inform local
admins of potential faults so they could decide what to do, of course, but
not taking it that extra step.
