I telecommute 1 day a week and it's the most productive day I have!  When I 
proved that to management and ask for an additional day or an occasional extra 
day it's always no way!   When I was a developer at Extol I had 2 days 
telecommuting and it worked out great.

I have a close friend that lives down the street from me here in the PA 
Poconos.  He works for a company in Ohio and visits the office every 6 weeks or 
so.  They ran a T1 line to his house and pay his expenses for the office visit. 
 

Just a few examples of how it can work.  

Perhaps the reason companies don't expand programs like this is that there are 
some people that just can't work from home.  They're distracted or tempted by 
the opportunity to get personal work done.  Companies also seem to have a 
problem with setting up a policy that handle the two types of workers.  But 
most of all, there are probably many more tax breaks for hiring offshore than 
an American.

I know I'm ready for more online work.
