Turnkey VOIP Solution for small office(s)?

I am looking for a turnkey, out-of-the-box solution for a small office to allow satellite offices with existing broadband VPN (Cable and/or DSL) to connect using VOIP. We currently have a few Cisco 7912 IP Phones that are connecting via one of our ISPs and they work GREAT - but we want to have our own corporate voice network and set up extensions in up to 17 satellite offices and some of the managers' homes.

While it is not imperative that the system operate with our existing phone system in our main office, it wouldn't hurt either.

I guess I am looking for a 'VOIP for Dummies' solution that just works... Can anyone steer me in the right direction?

I have a very small business in comparison to yours but I 'assembled' a small multi-lined phone system using multi-line expandable cordless phones (panasonic) and the VoIP services provided by Vonage
This scenario may not work for you but I am just about ready to drop all but a couple lines from my regular 'land line' phone provider - I still want to give it a little longer 'relaibility' test - so far it seems to be fine
Hope this helps

Hi Venabili,
I'd suggest that AndrewGW's answer be accepted as the Asker said that they'd made contact with the suggested company and progress was being made.
However, Joel_Sisko offered some very good advice which should also be of use. Maybe a split?
