The phone lines don't stop at the border! If companies routinely allowed telecommuting for sysprogs, I could as easily be working for a concern in New Delhi, or La Paz, or Johannesburg. Of course, people living in those cities could be bumming code for US concerns as well. Upshot: if you're a relatively high-paid US systems programmer, telecommuting is a two-edged sword. IOW, be careful what you wish for. -- David Andrews A. Duda and Sons, Inc.
