    A VPN is tunnel through the internet from one office to another.

    You can have a VPN using broadband across the internet.

    What you need to find out is how he already connecting to the internet from both offices?

    Is he using a Hardware Firewall or Router?

    How many users in each office? (This is more for a cost estimate than anything else)
    he just wants to be able to see certain reports on the 2 different offices
    Email them?

    You can setup a VPN with just software on both sides its easy enough to implement too. if however the offices have a number of staff in them and they currently dont have a hardware firewall/Router then I would look at getting a Sonicwall
