With G.729a and cRTP, you can cram over a hundred calls into a single T1;
what is the average and peak usage predicted for your deployment?

While I know it's not ideal, you may want to consider using CallMangler's
bandwidth control features to ensure voice traffic never exceeds the T1's
capacity.  That way you can route all voice to the T1, all data to the
satellite, and not worry about fancy load-sharing tricks.
