Woody Leonhard takes on the toughest aspects of telecommuting and gives you the straight scoop on how to make it work for you. Whether you're a telecommuter, a telecommuter's boss, or just curious, The Underground Guide to Telecommuting will give you the tools and information you need to turn electricity and a phone line into major productivity. Set up your office right the first time, even if your budget bears more resemblance to your kid's allowance than to the boss's expense account. Woody offers no-nonsense advice on what hardware and software to buy, what hot new technology will pay for itself, and which gizmos are a waste of your time and money. Decipher the alphabet soup of telecommunications - find out the difference between ISDN, ATM, and ESPN, and what's best for you. Get valuable and occasionally devious tips on how to stay on the good side of the zoning board, the postal service, the IRS, and, most importantly, your neighbors. Learn about the "virtual corporation" - the hottest trend in telecommuting.
