How do I setup secure VPN connection from scratch

Hi Experts

I have just build a windows server 2008  system for a small media business, now I would like to set-up a secure VPN connection, so they all can remotely access the files in the server. they have a ADSL connection (8 mbs on the down, 512k on the up.).

My questions are:

Do I need to get another broadband connection just for VPN or I can use it on the same ADSL?
will I need to buy another router? ( they have a BT ADSL router )
How much will it cost?

I personally like SonicWall products - they are pretty easy to set up, come with a good deal of options, and they offer site to site vpn, SSL vpn, or the IP Sec global vpn client.

The question of adding another ISP will completely depend on the number of active users and how much data they will be transferring.
Have you looked in to setting up Windows Server RAS?

The Cisco ASA comes with 2 concurrent users as standard and the users simply go to the devices webpage to install the client, you can even set it up as a clientless VPN.  As a starting point it is both secure and simple to license.
