Once the VPN is established, you are logging directly into the domain with your workstation
You'll need a fairly big pipe (bandwidth) if you have have large files
If you are going to running apps based on files in one office, then you may want terminal server instead of VPN.
There is a KB article about running site to site VPN with ISA 2004. The article will give you some basics

Thank you for the reply. In Ohio but will check out Charter Cable.
Once the VPN is established, what is the recommended interface for
sharing data on the server. We are only familiar with Remote Desktop
for remote workers and are looking for some alternative. Can you
forward any other recommended reading? Thanks again
