Can you loop one of the T1s on the 7206 and see the loop on the 2811?

It's been awhile, but I think this would be done using

controller t3 x/x
  t1 x channel-group 0 timeslots 1-24 loopback ?

There should be a number of different options under this to set the 
direction (facing you or facing the line) and depth (pass through the T1 
framer, etc) for the loop.

I think you may need to have a peek at the config on the mux if possible. 
It looks like your frames aren't passing through, which is probably why 
your T1s are showing LOF/AIS.  When you put a hard loop on the physical T1 
end, facing back to the 7206, do the LOF/AIS indicators go out on that 
port?  From what I can see, the router configs look OK.

Also make sure the mux isn't trying to inject its own clocking into the 
T1s.  It problably isn't, but it's a good idea to check.
