DSL 504T is fine. I've got a company with a satellite office on NI

You will have to port forward traffic on UDP/1194 ( by default - I have
also tried setting it up on TCP/22 to take advantage of ssh QOS but not
much difference really ) to the openvpn server you set up, and that's
about it. Push your routing from the server, and it all just works!
I agree with Steve - look at some kind of permanent VPN. OpenVPN might
be okay (what I use at home) or for real true two-way routing you'd want
an ipsec tunnel.
Both are secure and sncrypted and both come as open source solutions.
You should stay away from pptp.
As for which routers to use, ones that work. We use cisco because it
either works or it gives you the tools to see why thins are not working.
And ciscos can terminate ipsec tunnels. However they're not cheap.
