If you can log in via ssh:

ssh -C home_machine
log in
You can run text based programs in your terminal window or if
you start an X program (by typing it's name, perhaps with a &
to keep the terminal prompt active), it will open a window on
your work desktop. In spite of what I said earlier, this will
be much faster if the display is mostly text.
Do you really have a T1 at home or is this a cable/dsl connection?
Many 'high-speed' home connections have fairly low caps on
outbound traffic.
