In the current market, you'll be hard-pressed to find any company that 
will hire someone for 100% telecommuting (or very much at all) right off 
the bat. In my experience, most companies consider telecommuting only 
after they get to know you, and you get to know your co-workers, after 
you've all worked on-site for a while.

The only exceptions I've found (where I've had telecommuting contracts 
that were so off-site, I never even met the clients face-to-face) were 
when employees were scarce, jobs went begging, and companies needed 
anyone qualified they could get. That's certainly not the case right now.

Good luck, though... if you can get it, it can be a great way to work for 
everyone involved.
