router. Will he be able to start downloading/uploading on that bandwidth even though its hooked directly to the Asterisk server? If so, how can I prevent the bandwidth usage but still allow VoIP calls?
If you do not route IP traffic over the T1 then there is no way anyone can upload or download.
Switch it around..
Company B is the same, however we will sell 1 T1 for voice AND data (at a different price). How do I setup Asterisk to handle both?
Asterisk doesn't deal with IP data traffic (beyond the voice-related traffic). It's not a router. Cards such as the T100P have the ability to split data DS0 off of a channelized T1, or a PRI, but again, that's something that has nothing to do with Asterisk.
In the first case you are plugging a T1 into the back of Asterisk. I am assuming, since you did not specify, that it's a channelized T1 and the channels are provisioned for voice. Where does the router come into play that you mentioned?
In the second case you can use Linux itself as a router if you want. If you don't want, there are plenty of hardware options such as a VINA Integrator that work just fine in handling the dual traffic on a channelized T1. You can pick those up off of eBay for about $50 each, and they route IP and do firewalling and have T1-to-analog ports and everything, in a 1U package.
