Pair Programming At Home

PairProgramming at home together with a visiting programmer.

Benefits from PairProgramming at home:

You don't get lonely, which is often the main problem for telecommuters.
Other people (wife, kids, visitors ...) are less inclined to disturb you when you are two working together.
It feels more like "real work", so you are less inclined to be disturbed by other domestic tasks.
It is easier to set and follow a time schedule (to avoid over/underwork)
If you find a partner living close to you transportation time/cost will be low/nonexistant.
Rotating which home will be used as workplace creates a change of scenery.
You may encounter an opportunity to have a dinner with the family of your co-worker.

Could maybe be called ExtremeTelecommuting?

You could imagine that a small team of programmers, living close to each other, could create a VirtualCompany and have all the benefits of both PairProgramming and TeleCommuting.

Is there a way to pair program over the internet? Ideas? Suggestions?
