Stratus anecdote this time ... I was at their UK office in Cannon Street (can't quite remember why) meeting a friend (Bill Hooper) who worked for them. He showed me round, and stopped at one machine. "If I pull the CPU board out of this, the only people who notice anything wrong will be us, as this machine rings itself up to report a fault". It was their fault-reporting system, and it received phone calls like those made by your system.
