Default VOIP Connection to Standard Analog Phone System

I have an interesting scenario. I have a main office in one city and a remote office in a city about 200 miles away. I would like to be able to connect my voip phones in my remote office to the analog phone system in my main office. I understand that I can get a voip gateway at the main office, but would this allow my main office to just dial my remote office as an extension?? If not, how could I set this up so that my remote office is an extension of the main office and calls can be routed easily?

Connecting the remote office to the main office is definately doable. We just need some more information.

How many phones are we talking about? What model are they?

Is there a PBX at the remote location?

Or do the phones need to connect back directly to the main PBX?

What do you want to have happen when they need to dial 911 or the Internet connection is down?

The main office does not have a pbx system... just a standard analog lucent phone system. The remote office has a small ipbx system with two extensions. The phones are Polycom 501 and 601 models. Dialing 911 is not such an issue and if the lines are down, i'd assume that the system would be setup to forward to voicemail or cell phones.

A simple setup would be to buy two SPA3102's and configure their FXO ports to connect to the PBX.

That's kinds of what I was thinking. Would that then allow my office that has no pbx to transfer calls to my remote office with the pbx?
