This has been kicked around for a while since we moved to CallManager  
but not much thought has been given to it. I'm trying to understand  
how your hardware is setup. How would it look, similar to one of these?

87x router <---DSL or Cable---> INTERNET <--T1 connection---> 3845 <-- 
Ethernet--> LAN

or

87x router <---DSL or Cable---> INTERNET <--T1 connection---> 3845  
<---> ASA or PIX Firewall <--Ethernet--> LAN

Is the 3800 used for all your firewalling needs in lieu of something  
like an ASA or PIX? Sonicwall's are currently in place and haven't  
worked very well for the remote users it was tested with. The  
Sonicwalls we have don't have anything similar to what the 871's seem  
to have in regards to vlans and packet tagging. We would probably  
kick the Sonicwalls out if something else would work better.
