I don't know about that part either. It looks to me
like there are several companies out there which offer
"integrated T1s", which do precisely what you want (do
a google search on those terms). Whether FRII can
offer this service is the part I do not know.  The
difficulty lies on whether they have the equipment on
their end to provide this service. Call them. It's in
their best interest to get your business, so if they
can't do it, they should be able to refer you to
someone who can!

I know a telecom engineer at CSU who has been very
helpful to me in the past. I'll call him tommorow and
see if he can offer any guidance on this.
