This is where your problem lies. For routing, you need an addressing
scheme. If it was a end-to-end connection, with no intervening cross
connections (ie. a wire instead of one piece of a network) then
you're fine.
Remember that when the phone company did a T1, they either did a single
end-to-end connection, or had a "phone number" type tag on it so that the
switching office knew where the connection was going to and coming from.
Essentially, again, addressing.
