OK, here's one more tip then... If the Overseas office is there, and the HQ is here or in some other geographically separate region, you probably will be best set up with a FR connection b/t the two sites. Anything else will probably be cost prohibitive, or will put too many hops in the picture to meet the latency requirements for voice.

Your side notes actually answer my question. There's no doubt about having PBX at medium or large sites, and therefore a need for a T1/E1 channalized gateway for voice/fax between the router and the PBX. I am just concerning if I could do the scenario you just described for a small oversea office of 4 or 5 sale people, where they don't have a PBX, but still able to use the IP phones to talk to HQ using the WAN (VoIP) and still able to talk to a regular analog phone with the FXO gateway attached to the router.
