Its not so much a "channel bank" that they use, but more of a CSU/DSU with
drop & insert capability.  The incoming T1 will go into the D&I unit, the
data channels will get routed to whatever interface they'll be using
(Usually V.35 serial) and the rest of the channels will go back out on a
DSX port that gets connected to one port on the T400P (or one of the
T100Ps).  The second T1 port (or second T100P) connection runs to your FXS
channel bank.

Yes, they can do this.  You can turn your * server into both a PBX and
router.
