Obviously you cannot put 16 E1s on a single server. And at least in the US, getting 16 T1s makes no sense. It costs just as much as a T3 (28 T1s) You can do it, I would inquire about an E3 (I suppose there has to be such a thing). A T3 comes as two coaxial cables, one send, on receive and would attach to a MUX to break out your E1s. Seven servers should do the trick.
