What would happen if a free spirit with the power of possesion, possessed a
decker, then tried to jack into the matrix? Would the spirit be able to
interface with the matrix or not?

I would say yes, since when a spirit posseses someone it obtains access to
all of the persons skills and abilities, so they could merely use a persons
body to interface with the matrix for them, and just receive the sensory
input themselves, as well as issue commands. Great when you're up against
black ICE too, 'cause then the persons body cops the deadly damage, and the
spirit gets away scot free.

I would say yes, but this spirit would experience the same limitations as
any other magically active being, such as mages, in the Matrix... Severe
headaches, And I believe +2 to all Target Numbers...
