Looks like an ASA 5500 series or an IOS SSL router. I am guessing it would be a feature set v.s. a specific router?

on the router correct. Also I believe that it may have to be a SSL vpn to work directly to the phone. You will need to buy licensing and verify that the feature set can handle that. <br />
<br />
The SSL licenses for an ASA are priced pretty well as long as you buy their base package which will license the SSL client features (not the clientless vpn however, which are licensed per connection and are much more) for one flat price for an ASA.

Thanks for the information. I will double check the licensing.

We are looking for some recommendations for establishing a remote ip phone for a remote worker. We have one user who works outside of the office in a field office. We would like to have the ability to place a cisco 79xx IP phone in their office and connect back to our office. We have CUCM 8. We are just looking at the one user and location at this time. <br />
<br />
We don't require any elaborate setup. Something simple would be great. I am guessing we will need a Cisco ASA appliance?<br />

Any recommendations would be great.

Remote CISCO IP Phone

Voice over IP (VoIP) is a methodology and group of technologies for the delivery of voice communications and multimedia sessions over Internet Protocol (IP) networks, such as the Internet. Other terms commonly associated with VoIP are IP telephony, Internet telephony, broadband telephony, and broadband phone service. The term specifically refers to the provisioning of communications services (voice, fax, SMS, voice-messaging) over the public Internet, rather than via the public switched telephone network (PSTN).  Examples of the VoIP protocols are H.323, Media Gateway Control Protocol (MGCP), Session Initiation Protocol (SIP), H.248 (also known as Media Gateway Control (Megaco)), Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP), Real-time Transport Control Protocol (RTCP), Secure Real-time Transport Protocol (SRTP), Session Description Protocol (SDP), and Inter-Asterisk eXchange (IAX).

Cisco PIX is a dedicated hardware firewall appliance; the Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) is a firewall and anti-malware security appliance that provides unified threat management and protection the PIX does not. Other Cisco devices and systems include routers, switches, storage networking, wireless and the software and hardware for PIX Firewall Manager (PFM), PIX Device Manager (PDM) and Adaptive Security Device Manager (ASDM).

IP telephony (Internet Protocol telephony) is a general term for the technologies that use the Internet Protocol's packet-switched connections to exchange voice, fax, and other forms of information that have traditionally been carried over the dedicated circuit-switched connections of the public switched telephone network (PSTN). Using the Internet, calls travel as packets of data on shared lines, avoiding the tolls of the PSTN. The challenge in IP telephony is to deliver the voice, fax, or video packets in a dependable flow to the user.
