I've been thinking about commlinks and of course they're quite ubiquitous. I wonder, though, if the megacorps would use mere commlinks as their mainstays? Bottom line, is I've noticed that our technomancer has very little difficulty cutting into the top of the line decks w/ rating six firewalls, and would like to come up with something to challenge her.

I've been thinking that *if* a main frame did still exist, it might be able to transcend some of the limitations of a commlink and allow perhaps some more potent levels of IC and programs, but I'm not sure how this might be handled. Obviously this would only be for exclusive super secure stuff, not your everyday hackjob. Any ideas on this?

Best,
Chazuli
