Others have commented on the hardware options for 6 * T1s, if that's what
you want.
I don't know what is available wherever you are, and at what cost, but here
it is possible to get frame relay at up to 44 Mbps access speed (2 Mbps
increments above 2 Mbps). Runs on a HSSI interface. If that's available
to you, it may be more cost-effective than multiple T1s.
Also, if all your sites are within 15 miles, you could run 1000BaseZX over
fibre. This is very unlikely to be cost-effective, but hey, if you happen
to have access to cheap fibre, it means you won't run out of bandwidth in a
hurry :-)

I also would consider frame relay as a choice, you can get it up to full
t1 speed, the cost is often lower than t1, and telco monitors them more
closely. If you are committed to separate t1s, and the possibility of
bringing in an isp link and bgp peering pops up, you'll want a beefy 3600
or 7204vxr.
