I think this might be inspiring.

Ah yes, I think I found something that perhaps could be of some use. Remember, many a true word is spoken in jest...

Top 10 ways to tell if Planescape had been designed by Microsoft CSA Bill Gates

7. The Justice Department would force BIS to allow users to install Ultima 9 on top of Planescape, creating Ultima 9:Torment (as if it wasn't already)

Had a couple of quick questions for ya. How does one connect to the plane? Will a normal wireless modem work, or does a sod need certain spells or an enchanted modem? Or, are there hubs that allow a whole area to connect?

Network Ghost

Network Ghost anyone?

Something akin to a packet of data that got lost, or randomly spawned from nothingness, floating through cyperspace. Scrying or hacking would indicate they are without origin or destination. Moving, perhaps at incredible speed, seemingly unaware of any surroundings, and passing through anything without effect or damage (which might allow a skilled hacker to piggy-back through barriers and securities they normally couldn't penetrate).
