    Sme people can work from home cut off from the world just with internet access, email and a phone. Others use a VPN to the office so they can access the servers in the office. Others use a terminal server/dumb terminal on a similar type of connection as a VPN. I used to install systems for a company of home working travel agents they had a virtual phone system where calls were routed remotley they computers were with internet access to systems that were based online using terminal services.

    Home working can be hard to motivate yourself there are so many distractions working form home. I work from home but am out on calls as much of the time I can be so it isnt too bad. if I have nothing to do I stay in bed most of the day. you also need to find a job that allows you to work from home, are you thinking about setting up your own business or somthing?

    Copy from one, it’s plagiarism; copy from two, it’s research.
