Networking offices via VPN ??

[sdruid11]

The question came up again about networking offices, but this time it was narrowed down to being
able to dial into the computers in each office thru the T1 or DSL connection via VPN.
They have a peer to peer network setup in each of the offices....will VPN still work ?
They will probably have static ip's, and I'm thinking they will need a VPN Router at each office,
am I correct with that assumption ?
I considered using something like PcAnywhere but then they would have to buy license for every
computer.
How would I set up a VPN connection for each office ? Do I need any special software ?
I think VPN capability is built into Win2k and WinXP.....

thanks...
