IBM had such a tool for dealing with user problems in OS/2.  You ended 
up going through a decision tree (that I suspect was lovingly 
hand-crafted) and either ended up with a solution, a known bug 
(sometimes with a workaround) or a request to contact customer support.

It worked.  Is there still anyone around who still knows how that system 
was built and maintained?  Was it ever writton up, say, in the IBM 
Systems Journal?
