bmyers,
Okay, here's what you will need.
1. LAN addressing - you've got it: 192.168.50.0 255.255.255.0. This must be applied to the ethernet interface on the remote router. I recommend you use 192.168.50.1 255.255.255.0.
2. If you're using DHCPat corporate, you will need to know the address of the DHCP server. Add this line to the interface configuration: "ip helper-address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" (the address of the server)
3. Serial addressing - you NEED IT! Your T-1 is on a serial interface and needs a separate IP network to function. Since this is a private network, pick another 192.168.xxx.xxx network. Set up both routers to do "ip classless" routing, so you can get by with multiple serial lines within a single subnet. For example, use 192.168.100.4 255.255.255.252 as your network. That allows for one address to describe the network, two host addresses within the network, and a broadcast address. The serial port on one router will have an address of 192.168.100.5 255.255.255.252 and the other will have 192.168.100.6 255.255.255.252 The broadcast address would be 192.168.100.7.
4. You have a small network so a routing protocol isn't really necessary for this link. Use a static route as suggested by the other respondent. It would look something like this...Corporate: "route ip 192.168.50.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.100.6" where the "100.6" address is the ip address of the serial port on the REMOTE router. All traffic destined for the "50" network will go over theT-1 to the remote site. At the remote site, all of your non-local traffic can only go to the corporate site, so your remote route would look like this: "route ip 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.100.5". This is a default route and sends all traffic not part of your remote LAN over the serial port to the corporate router.
This should get you going. If you need more assistance, drop me a line at chris.kilday@ctg.com.
