you can use something like the linksys wrv54G and set up a tunnel between each other.  If you already have a router and just want a tunnel device then the linksys BEFVP41 should work just fine.

Just for the record, the sonicwall soho tzw works beautifully as well so you don't NEED cisco.

Yea I know... but you can still use what I first suggested.  the Linksys BEFVP41, it'll put netbios over the tunnel.  On the advanced page for the vpn in that device is a check box that says NetBIOS Broadcast, just check it and it'll work.  That's the one I have.  I forget how much it is, but it isn't cisco/sonicwall prices...

Sorry I'm not familiar with msft vpn but any of their networking hardware I never recommend compared to linksys or dlink.
