Travis,
The reason it doesn't work like your Internet router, is that the "other end" of the Inet connection is most likely throttling you down to an acceptable limit (via IIS/FTP/ or their routers). What you are experiencing between your two offices is a Cisco queueing called FIFO (First in/First out) basically.
FIFO should only be running on his interface if he told it to explicitly. By default, a T1 interface in a Cisco router will be running WFQ. If this has been disabled either accidentally or on purpose, you should see a line on the interface that says no fair-queue. This may help you out somewhat.

What you will want to do is read up on the different queueing options available with a Cisco router. Cisco has tons of info on their site/with examples. For example, you can set max outbound utilization per session, set queueing priorities via protocol (ie. FTP traffic can go unlimited, unless there is http traffic. If there is HTTP traffic, the FTP packets drop down in the queue, and the HTTP traffic is processed first.) IMO that is the best way to do things (if your traffic patterns permit) because you aren't locking a certain protocol down to X bandwidth.

I have a T1 connection two offices with a Cisco 2611 on each side. How is that one person can max the T1 by copying 1 really large file (500MB) but the T1 going to my ISP can handle many transactions like this before it maxes. It's as if the largest job gets the bandwidth needed to get the job done quickest. Is there a way to limit this so it works like my 2621 linking to the ISP?
