From Book News, Inc.
If, as the techno-optimists promise, we will all soon be working at home in our pajamas, someone will have to build and maintain the electronic commuter routes to connect us to the job and the boss to us. Here is a guide to the communications and networking technologies that can make telecommuting possible, addressed to corporate decision makers involved in the planning, development, and implementation of an employee diaspora, and to telecommuters themselves. The combination of technical and business perspectives might also be of interest to companies providing networking services. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
