Thanks for all the responses so far.
I will still be working a permanent position, so I will not have to deal with
multiple VPN clients. I will likely be able to have a local desktop if I want,
or even have a virtual desktop created on site. I think running multiple
Virtual machines could still be useful, do you find VMWare workstation a good
way to go with that?
I think the technical support should be fairly easy as long as I get all the
access I need. Team collaboration is the part I am more worried about. Would
anyone have a recommendation for any of the web conferencing tools such as
webex, or even some of the video conferencing solutions?
Thanks.

I use different virtual machines depending on vpn client. Cisco's vpn client
for example doesn't like VMWare virtual network cards and requires many
attempts before connecting.
For those who prefer GUI over sql plus I suggest port forwarding for the
listener.
Team collaboration is a bigger problem, it requires good will from all
participants. Regular team meetings, ideally with video, are essential (imo).
It is very easy to misunderstand email and instant messages, making it
difficult to develop a "we" feeling. In thus respect, technology doesn't beet
face to face encounters.
But that's just me, with how I experienced it. Your mileage may vary.

I second the virtual machine solution. Some VPN software is very particular
about its environment, at one point I was using one that had to be
reinstalled every time windows update the OS. It lived in its own VM.
