I received the following in the mail. As I do not have the Tir
sourcebook, I cannot make comments on this. But I do believe that this
leads credence to the fact that a frame can operate autonomously and within
the computer it has been injected into.

There is some support for your position on frames (presuming I'm
interpreting it correctly, as reading various and sundry mail bits creates
a little confusion on who is supporting what) in the Tir Tairngire
Sourcebook. The major Tir corp computer systems are run in what they call
Non-Real-Time mode, which in essence means the SAN only connects to
abuffer, which stores incoming data. Only after the main system disables
the SAN and severs the MAtrix connection does it retrieve the data in the
buffer. Without the real time link, you can't worm your way in in real
time.

Okay, pretty pat and steady right?

A reply from a decker to this arrangement goes like this:

>>>>>[True, if I can't real-time I can't infiltrate my persona into the
system, but I've still got options. I can slip an autonomous program frame
-- preferably disguised as an innocous data packet -- into the buffer, for
example. When it gets loaded into the system, it commands the mainframe to
open a SAN on the sly and let my persona in that way.]<<<<<

The above is taken from page 86 of the Tir Tairngire Sourcebook, in the
telecomunications section.
