This is essentially what we're trying to do - nothing wierd or
incredibly complex.  All we want is to re-route stuff if/when one T1
goes down.  Unfortunately we can't really afford anything more expensive
at this point.  Soon, perhaps, but now we have to do with what we
have...

Thanks to all for the help, info, and pointers - I'll muddle through
with these 2501s until something better can be done.
