Yup.  Until just a few months ago my supervisor (at U S WEST) was
unable to fathom telecomuting.  He used a Mac, and might have been able
to login to a unix machine if he had a system administrator on the
phone with him.  When I brought up the subject of working at home with
him, I got a vacant stare as if I had just asked him "I'm going to die
tomarrow and was wondering if I could keep working from beyond the
grave".

I'm fortunate now to have a new supervisor who understands that I dont
have to be in the building to work.  (Of course she lives several miles
up Boulder canyon and is probably snowed in herself today).

There is hope though...  At least there is a concensis (now that ATT is
out of the picture) that UUCP is not the ultimate answer to the worlds
networking needs.  :-)
