Hello,
I need to provide internet access for an internal LAN of approx. 50 users. I want a router that can handle this amount of traffic for possibly up to a full T1.

I would like it to support VPN for me (only) to remotely access the LAN.

Any suggestions on hardware and/or setting this up would be helpful. Also, I posted this in the Cisco section but am open to other vendors.
 
One other thing I forgot, I would like it to support DHCP also so that I don't have to have separate server for only that.
 
If you're looking for a Cisco solution, I'd recommend the 1841. It can handle way more than 50 users, and is less than standard 19" rack size.
 
Does it support DHCP? I didn't see it specifically on the Cisco site for that model. Or is DHCP considered something that all routers do?
 
DHCP is IOS version dependent, but the Cisco routers nowadays support DHCP.
