Well, here's the options I thought up for the decker running via cyber-link:
1) signallying real-world runners via slave modules (turning lights on/off,
etc.) or by i/o ports
2) use a normal or cyber radio (but this gives a +2 TN mod. to all actions and
one subsequent action due to actively concentrating on the real-world)
3) use that electronics(b/r) and fix up a radio connection to a hitcherjack
port (no more +2 TN mod.)

In a word, yes. So when ya see that IC, go for the big guns! Unless, of
course, you're getting into some load problems and all those other tricky
situations from the VR sourcebook.
