telecommuting
     
        The practice of working at home and communicating with your
        fellow workers through the phone, typically with a computer
        and modem.  Telecommuting saves the employee getting to and
        from work and saves the employer from supplying support
        services such as heating and cleaning, but it can also deprive
        the worker of social contact and support.
