Is the Sun workstation rented or leased? I'd work to keep the Sun workstation at home and go to a DSL line only if the company will pay for it. One person probably doesn't need an ISDN line. How often do you pass things between work and home? In most cases I would think a DSL line would be fine.

I'd try to keep the workstation because it will fill up with work-related data. If something goes wrong the company can fix it.

Sure you're lucky to be working at home - and so is your company. There are advantages both ways.

I'm working at home full-time as a writer/editor because of a disability
using Sun's work station on an ISDN line. Now that my company
is facing hard times, My boss is concerned about
the cost of ISDN and wants me to use my PC on a DSL line.
I asked if they would pay me something for the use of my PC
and the answer was no. I'm been a regular employee for 6 years.

I know I'm lucky to have a job and be working at home but I'm
wondering if I should push the request to be paid for use of
my PC or just be happy to donate my PC for 8 hours a day?
