RE: Should I furnish computer?

[mclm -at- ncode -dot- co -dot- uk]

I can't believe some of the responses to this thread! I have previously
worked from home for several companies and the situation is pretty clear as
far as I can see.
Be sure to get this sorted out at interview time:

* The company should provide all hardware and software (as it does for all
other employees).
* The company should cover all telecom requirements (as it does for all
other employees).

Why should the poster accept inferior terms compared with the rest of the
company? Sales staff, for example, routinely get laptops, software, mobile
phones, company cars, expenses etc. to do their job. Why shouldn't a tech
writer get a computer with the necessary software loaded?
