The WRAP image would not work. The hardware is different on the ALIX. OpenVPN will require some manual configuration. I'll be happy to help. I have a similar setup using OpenVPN (although we have an Astlinux box on each end of the link both running Asterisk). The biggest concern with bridging the connection is all windows browse requests would traverse the entire network (including all devices on both sides of the connection). A better way to do this would be to route the traffic using OpenVPN. On the "server" side, you can do most of the config from the rc.conf file. (you'll have to setup your ca and keys manually using the easy-rsa scripts). On the client side, you'll want to create a static config file on your key disk and just enable openvpn in rc.conf. I would strongly suggest using an image from trunk as there are some improvements to openvpn's init script that will not be back ported to 0.4. For the ALIX I would probably start with the net5501 image and see how that works. I haven't purchased an ALIX board yet and haven't compared the hardware, but they look similar.
