Hi Micheller,
Most modern companies now accomodate teleworking. If your job has realistic objectives that can be measured by your manager then it should not matter where you work. Many workers in many companies are now working from home.
I was involved on the IT side in setting up a number of home offices for a multinational. If you have broadband (ADSL) at home, you can be always on line to your employer and can also have access to all systems that you would have if you were at the office.
It is better if you have a dedicated room, e.g. a boxroom or a Shomera (

There are other issues. You will need to discipline yourself and your family to accept when you are working, you are working and cannot be disturbed. There are also the psychological aspects e.g. the need sometimes to have face to face meetings and to be near "warm bodies". There are many blogs etc on teleworking.
It has been my experience that an employer gains more from a telewroker with a good work ethic, because, they are not wasting time commuting, they tend to be more efficient and less distracted and they often have a better balance between work life and family life.
