I've used OpenVPN ( http://openvpn.net/ ) and SJ Phone ( 
http://sjlabs.com/ ) with good results. The VPN allows me to use any SIP 
soft phone. It will also work with IAX clients. On SJ Phone, you'll need 
to manually select the VPN IP address after your tunnel opens. But, this 
isn't difficult.

You could also install OpenVPN on a Soekris box. If you're going that 
route, I'd recommend a Digium FXS card in the Soekris box rahter than a 
separate ATA.
