I currently have a T1 between a 4500 and a 2514. Want to put an additional T1 in to increase bandwidth and provide redundancy. 2514 has an available serial interface, 4500 does not, will be getting additional router. my question is how do i share bandwidth across the 2 T1s?

Thanks!

If the two T1's are in the same router use EIGRP or OSPF as the routing protocol and let it automatically load balance.

Give it a shot.
 
Terminate the two T1's into a multiplexer, and combine the bandwidth. Adtran offers equipment that can accomplish this task.
 
A "free" solution would be to use BGP if your ISP's would allow it. Some demand you have a /24 though. Verizon gave me one though.
