Setting up remote access in RRAS is not a big deal. Essentially all you need to do is select the right option in the setup wizard.
That said, doing what you plan is not a walk in the park if neither of you has experience with VPN. The VPN experience is very different from being on the LAN.

But I'm not running SBS. I'm running Windows Server 2003 Standard. So I have.
to completely install and setup RRAS.

Hi Jonathan,
If you have VPN capabilities, you should be fine. And VPN is a feature that
runs under RRAS, so I assume you are using SBS' VPN capabilities, RRAS is
already setup. Give it a shot and let us know how you make out.
