I would suggest registering at the workplacelikehome.com forums. They list at-home job opportunities, and the community very carefully polices them for legitimacy.

At 23, I found my first job through said website, doing customer service for a company called Alpine Access. It was very simple stuff. Update callers' contact info, reset their passwords, field complaints, etc. I know you've said that your skills are dated, but they provided training via phone conferences prior to starting out. Most of the people I worked with were older women, some of them in the senior category.

I had to give up the job after my disability made it too painful for me to sit. However, up until that point, I was making $9/hr starting salary and reliably got 20-30hrs a week (more if I actively pursued it).

Hope this leads you to something!
