No you do not have to have XC to run two T-1's. That's only if you are using two 6 port expansion cards.
You would have two DTI cards and perhaps a 6 port Combo card to give you DTMF receivers and clocking. If you expect to have heavy traffic on both T-1s then I would also put a Services card in slot 1 to provide more DTMF receivers. The rest is just programming. The following will tell you how to do that:
How to Install a T1:
You must have either a Services Cartridge (slot 1) or a 6-port Combo card (slot 2) in order to provide clocking for the T-1. Only one of these is needed, even if you have two DTI cards.
The DTI card should go into Slot 4 first. If you have a second card it would go into Slot 3.
You must disable the card first, program the card for T1, then re-enable the card.
