Leased line, or dialup?  I assume "dialup".

I don't have a full overview over the Cisco product line, but one approach
might be to get a 1601+WIC-1T = 2 serial ports that can both go async RS232,
and hook up two external modems (USR Courier or similar).

Definitely ugly.

Isn't there a modem WIC?  Hmm, yes, there are: WIC-1AM and WIC-2AM - WIC
cards with 1 or 2 analog modems.

Background Information

The WAN interface cards -1AM and -2AM (WIC-1AM and WIC-2AM) provide
one or two internal V.90 analog modems. These WICs can be used for
incoming or outgoing analog modem calls. The WIC-2AM features dual
RJ-11 connectors, while the WIC-1AM uses one port for connection
to a standard telephone line, and the other port to connect to a
basic analog telephone for use when the modem is idle.

doesn't work in the 1600, though - you need a 1700 or 2600.
