I need to connect two sites with a point to point circuit and use half the channels for voice and half for data. Will I need a csu/dsu plus a router to accomplish this or is there one box that can do both?
 
There are lots of ways you can do this.

One way is to use an Add/drop CSU/DSU, such as the Adtran 120, which as a V.35 interface (for data, to attach to a router) plus a DSX-1 port (for your voice channels; provides a T1 signal to your switch).

I believe (with the correct port licensing) that the Nortel SR 1002 router can also work as an Add/drop mux (making it a one-box solution).
 
The 3200 Netvanta did exactly what I needed and was super-easy to configure. Thanks to all.
