i"d assume that if you can work fairly quickly, you can get into Shadowland
with a tortise... after all, some mages post on it, and I doubt all of them
have 'jacks.

Of course, his other option is to wear one of the electrode rigs. It can work
as a pure cybernetic interface with no degradation (IIRC), and you don't need
a jack. If he's got the time to put one on, it'd be better for him than a
tortise.
