1) If you want three Rating 4 Agents running (eg, one out on a search, one helping you hack, and one in your commlink acting as IC) do you need to purchase 3 agents? Or do they act like all other software, and you only have to buy it once and run it many times?

2) Is it required to attach cyberware devices to your PAN for interoperability? I realize it says cyberware devices can talk to each other directly:

SR4 p. 330 Cyberware
In addition to wireless functionality, most cyberware devices are equipped with a direct neural interface (DNI) that allows the user to mentally activate and control their functions. They can also be linked to other cyberware implants.

But what about a weapon's smartlink? Can it communicate directly with the user's imagelink and smartlink without needing to be routed through their PAN by their comlink?

3) And if that is the case, then could skinlink handle the connection? The Pistol's smartlink would be connected via skinlink, which would somehow connect to the imagelink and smartlink in their eye's?

Thanks,
