Remote & Mobile Network access

I need a solution for the above statement

I have approximately 50 employees that need to access our NT 4.0 network while away from the home office.
1) Via a remote computer from satellite offices
2) Via a mobile laptop or PDA device

Any solution must include a high level of security because we deal in health care.
This is what I think we will need to do.
A) Setup a VPN
B) Remote offices will need a broadband connection (DSL or Cable Modem)
C) Mobile users will need wireless data/internet access
D) Log on authentication
E) File encryption

Well that?s what I know. I need help with how to implement.
i- Hardware solutions
ii- Software solutions
iii- Wireless data/internet service providers in upstate/Syracuse New York
iv- Setup and configuration

Any help from someone who has this experience will be greatly appreciated.
This is a nonprofit agency and we are currently applying for technology funding.

Install and configure RAS on a WIN NT Server.
RAS came with your WIN NT distribution software though is not automatically installed when you install your WIN NT OS.
RAS will enable remote users to connect to your WIN NT computer using dial up,WAN link or protocol like ISDN.
WIN NT RAS clients use the same authentication and security features as WIN NT to log onto WIN NT network.
The RAS client users log onto the network as if they were logging on through a LAN connection.
Additionally WIN NT Clients can encrypt data using RSA encryption for even more security.
That should get you started.
