  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.
