I have ADSL connection, small business, I only need 2 or 3 connections from mobile workers to the office.
Which router should I use and does it come with software for the remote access or is that extra cost?

Tim,
The 1800 series router (http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps5853/index.html), which replace the 1700s, sounds good for your purposes:
"The Cisco 1801, 1802, 1803 integrated services routers provide high-speed ADSL or G.SHDSL broadband access while ensuring reliable networking with integrated ISDN S/T BRI backup. The Cisco 1811 and 1812 provide high-speed broadband and Ethernet access through two 10/100BaseT WAN ports and also provide integrated WAN backup through V.92 analog modem (Cisco 1811) or ISDN S/T BRI interface (Cisco1812)".
The 1700 series are good too. Check out the Cisco 1700 Solution Design Tool (http://www.ciscowebtools.com/1700sdt/child/1.0/index.asp) to come up with a configuration of a complete Cisco 1700 Series system.
Otherwise how do you intend for the mobile workers to connect to you?
Josef.

Hi, hope its not too late.
How about the new 800 series? (e.g. 850 / 870)
They could act as Easy VPN Server, and allow mobile user to connect into it using Cisco VPN Client.\
cheers
