If the satellite offices can afford about GBP80 per month, go for NDU
accounts + Surftime. This will provide double the bandwidth from each
satellite office to the Internet (128 kbps MPPP) .

Don't forget that it's asymmetric!

You may want to consider a Terminal Server implementation at the Head
Office, or at least make use of the Exchange OWA service (using Outlook
over a dial-up without offline folders is a waste of time - MAPI has a
big overhead).

Hope this helps
