I want to setup VPN in my home so I can access my network from outside using either a browser or another thin client
I want to setup a network such that.
DSL --> Modem
Cable --> Modem
Both come into load balanced home router which has VPN capabilities.
Router --> Vonage DLink VOIP router
Router --> Lingo VOIP modem
Router --> Other IP devices
Router --> existing Linksys wireless router
Router -- PC (running FTP and webserver) that can be accessed from outside the firewall.
Need an expert who can recommend me the specific router and help me all along the way if I come across problems. I am not sure how easy it is to put the Vonage router behind another router and still have good phone service quality.

Some additional clarifications for the interested:
I intend to use the RV082 by linksys as the main router. (any recommendations would be great)
I want to use the WRT54G router as an wireless access point since I have it already. (how do I connect it to the main router)
The VPN capability should be such that I can use a client software from a remote machine to get into my network along with 5 other folks who would need to access the network.

This solution is only available to members.

Second, how would you like to access the VPN? Do you want it to be strictly SSL based so you only have to use a common browser to access your VPN or would you be OK with a client based VPN where you would have to have a client installed on the connecting PC?
You might want to take a look at IPcop (www.ipcop.org) which is an opensource Linux distribution. When installed on proper hardware this acts as a firewall/router that has add-ons (Zernia) that support "road warrior" VPN connections. Best part about this solution is that it's free, and turns an otherwise useless piece of hardware (IE - that old PII machine sitting in the corner) into something useful - a VPN appliance.
