Actually that "Gateway set to 0.0.0.0" is what you end up with when you
specify your default gateway as an interface in the IP route statement...
goofy, but true.
What you propose will give him per-packet load balancing... but wouldn't it
just be better to turn on CEF and run multiple default route statements
pointing down each T1?
One question I had about that strategy is... does CEF work when you specify
interfaces as gateways in your static route statements... or does one need
to put IP addresses in for it to work correctly... or does it matter at all?

Paul,
Equal cost static routes should work fine to balance between your T1's.
I would note turning route-cache off the interface may be useful as well
(this is always debatable). Something that looks odd to me is the below
snipet of your info..
"Gateway of last resort is 0.0.0.0 to network 0.0.0.0"
Without seeing the config I would be just guessing but it appears as if
maybe you have default-gateway set to 0.0.0.0.. it's a guess. Im not sure
what your problems are *exactly* but if you are trying to load balance
between multiple T1's it should be more than OK to have equal costs
statics to multiple interfaces .
