Re: OT: ASA Phones home by default?

Smart call home is cool, it's been there for a while, lots of products are doing it now.

Its "proactive diagnostics" if voltage, fans, or others sensors are throwing errors they can help you get it swapped put before there is a failure. You can opt out if you don't want to, what's not to like?
