Couple of things. First to answer exactly what your question was.
Carrier Access Adit 600 has the ability to add a router card to it. You
can probably bet there is a similar module for the Adtran hardware, and
Mark could help you with it.

Second. The problem of using a CB with network capabilities is that you
devote channels of the T1/E1 to a specific task. If you either go VoIP
with say IAX as your voice trunking over the current network T1/E1 then
you just fill what was probably a void in your network traffic.
Depending on the number of channels you need to run from one side to the
other, you may even get away with just using the new TDM boards Digium
is selling.
