Jeanette, I'm not sure I completely understand what you are saying.  A
t1 as I know it is a 1.54mbit/sec voice or data access line.  To host a
website, I would call that a web server.  To host internet access, I
might call that a firewall or maybe a router.  But the t1 itself is
separate and comes from a telco provider.

I also don't quite get this.  A company might have been shutdown and
their t1 facilities have also been shutdown.  You won't be able to use
them without paying setup, install and service charges to a provider.
That provider will have to work with quest to setup the facilities at
the site.  You'll need to select an internet provider, tell them you
want a t1 and let them work with Quest to install it.

As far as I know, there are two COs (quest central offices).  One is
down town and the other is on river road.  Your t1 facilities will
connect back to one of these COs before being switched over to your
providers circuits.  If you are within several miles of either of these
places a t1 is no problem.  If you are further than that, you'll need to
check with a provider.  I don't know what the reach on a t1 is.

Providers would include eschelon, atg, efn (don't know if they do t1),
rio(don't recommend), continet (don't recommend), quest(don't recommend) and others in 
the phone book.  Some providers will resell other's services.
