Yes, I am aware of these types of setups.  I have used http://www.cbeyond.com.
They are one of the few that dynamically vary the bandwidth between voice and
internet based upon how many calls are in progress.  If no calls are in progress
the whole 1.5Mb is available for internet connections.

The part that intrigued me was, "It terminates into a T100P", implying that there are
no channel banks between the ISP provided equipment and the T100P.  I strait
digital T1 connection.  It seems like this would require some modifications to Asterisk
and some coordination with the telephone/internet provider.  That's what I was
interested in.
