I think the easiest solution for you would be use of a VPN.

Hard to say what is you filtering/NAT problem. Keep in
mind that getting SIP alone over fw/nat doesn't help
as you want media to get through as well. That's a much
harder problem. Again, VPN is imho a fairly reasonable
choice for remote workers.

? FXS is a PSTN-phone-2-IP gateway, isn't it? The most
popular is cisco's ata.
