A couple of PIX 501s would be a really good solution for you. If you are running call mangler at one or both locations, you could also tie some of the voice solution together as well. How many PCs do you have at each location? If you only have one PC at one of the locations, you could probably just do one pix 501 and use windows client software for the other end of the tunnel. however, i still think the best solution (and cleanest) is to go with a couple of pix 501s. they're cheap, easy to setup, and reliable.
