   That's one approach.  I think Adtran is best known for making the gear 
that enables this, but I could be wrong.

   It's increasingly common to just offer a data T1 and run VoIP channels
over it.  They somewhat mimick this behaviour because some sort of
bandwidth reservation / heavy QoS scheme is run alongside them, with the
effect that a VoIP call will essentially subtract from available Internet
bandwidth in a way vaguely reminscent of circuit-oriented dynamic bandwidth 
allocation as above.
