Hello
If your user will be doing lot's of downloading you can go with the ADSL (a lot cheaper and a smart choice for a backup, considering your primary link will be up 99% of the time)As far as the card type goes.I would go for the HWIC-1ADSL which will give you up to 20Mbp for future upgrade.
HDSL will give same T1 speed with high upload if you have server on your network.
SDSL symetric like the HDSL but lower speed,this is now replace with G.SHDSL.which gives 2.3Mbps up/down.

That kind of mobile wireless is slow.
I agree with Minue. Some flavor of DSL is a good choice.
ADSL over POTS is a very easy and inexpensive solution to implement. An HWIC-1ADSL would work, and I think a WIC-1ADSL (much less expensive and available on eBay) would also work.
(But I'm no expert, lol.)

OTOH, it might be easy to go to DSL and connect through the ISP-provided modem via an ethernet connection. No additional cards needed with either a 2821 or 2851.

Too many variables to provide a good working config...
But I'm still no expert.

FOr a site to site, you will need a static IP. For remote access, you don't.
As far as a config, you set the interface connecting to the modem as
ip add dhcp
and you need IP Plus IOS image (at least) in order to do this. Plus, if you NAT in the modem, you won't be NATting in the router. This is if the modem will provide authentication (PPPoE) and NAT. If you wantr the router to do everything, then you would set the modem into bridge mode and create a vpdn group in the router, as well as NAT.
