It's out there. I've done lots of work for a certain publishing company in
Sebastopol CA... (they approached me though - I've not seen much
advertising for telecommuters).
Personally I'd find it hard to hire a telecommuter unless I had really
great references _and_ solid evidence of their knowledge (e.g.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] postings). That's how I've been hired.
