A dumb terminal session (or TightVNC, RDP, etc.) would suit for about half of what I do. The problem is that my productivity with the other half is compromised by being off-site.
As far as the bureaucracy goes, that is one of the pitfalls of working as a staff programmer in academia. The point of my post, however, is that many staff IT or programmer jobs are simply not compatible with the kind of working environment lepid0ptera describes, and I think this extends outside of IT or ERP style teams at large instutitions: my friends in the game or design industry frequently pull long shifts when trying to meet hard deadlines. This kind of environment is what is hostile to parenthood in general (not just mothers trying to take maternity leave).
