A Decker can have a potentially unlimited number of _smart_ frames, but he
has to kick them off himself.

Smart frames run in the machine that hosts them, and are independent.
However, they're not exactly subtle, so you probably wouldn't want _too_
many going around.

(My NPC decker's standard search technique involves sending a few dozen
smart frames to grep through online databases)
