Jase,
Personally, I'd look at the Polycom VSX7000 or the Sony PCS-1. They're reasonably priced, and you'll find that your 2MB line should be adequate to pass video traffic using the H.264 algorithm. They're both set-top systems, but I recommend that over desktop for the sheer fact that they look more professional (not to mention better video).
As far as the firewall is concerned, there are a number of options available to you. Do some research on Google for "NAT firewall traversal" and you should get a lot of answers. Ideally, though, these systems should reside outside of your firewall.
