Here's some pointers:

First thing is that the SOHO's need to be either the 'tc' models or need to have been upgraded for VPN use.

You should then select one of your FB700's as a 'hub' (usually the one situated at your HQ) and the two SOHO's and the remaining FB700 become the spokes for your setup.

So, the hub FB700 will be a server and will manage the VPN sessions of the IPSEC tunnels to all the appliances. Set this one by going to the menu item Network>Branch Office VPN>Basic DVCP Server. Here you need to 'Add' a configuration for each of your appliances making sure to assign them all a different network range or there will be conflicts.

Now set up the spoke appliances for VPN use: On the SOHO's go to the 'Managed VPN' link and enter the address of the hub FB700 for the DVCP server together with EXACTLY the same details (shared key etc.) that you entered when configuring the FB700 earlier.

Now when the appliances are connected to the internet they should make contact with the hub FB700 which will tunnel to each device and away you go...

One last point is to enable the relevant services when the tunnels are up as you might have an active tunnel but with all traffic being blocked. Best advice as always is to keep your eyes glued to the traffic monitor and see what's going on.

Hope that gets you going.
