I have been working from home full time for the past 2 years. I started with a small company (there was 5 of us) and we didn't even have an office - we all worked from home and got together at each others houses for meetings once a week. Then we were bought by a large company based in Los Angeles - luckily they decided to keep me on. (I live on the East Coast)
I fly out to the West Coast occassionally, and use programs like ICQ and AOL AIM to keep in constant contact with my co-workers during the day. The only thing you absolutely have to have to successfully work at home is a strong sense of discipline. Otherwise the call of housework, Playstation, and Everquest will kill ya!
