Hey Everyone,
 
We are in the works of planning a new * installation for our company.  We have 20 users in our main office and 5 users in a remote office a couple of states away.  Our call volume for the main office will be anywhere from 5-10 concurrent calls.  The remote office will have about 3 heavy users with two users making calls occasionally.
 
Right now we have an existing PBX.  We have a T-1/PRI coming into the main office and a DSL connection at the remote office.  We have a Cisco 2610/PIX 501 at the main office a cheesy linksys router at the remote site.
 
We are planning on purchasing new Cisco IP phones for everyone.
 
My main question is this:  What type of hardware/network design would be best for this situation?  Would a full T-1 at the remote site work with a VPN between the offices?  Or would a higher bandwidth DSL work with a VPN?  Or should we move to a Point-to-Point connection?  What type of hardware would be best for the end-to-end communication in regards to QoS?  I know the PIX 501 doesn't support it.
Would it be best to have two * servers in each office or for that call volume at the remote office does it make sense?  I was thinking of a Dell Power Edge server with 4GB of ram and a dual processor.. is that enough?
 
Sorry for all the questions!
