"Probably". Most residential-grade type equipment is designed to work
with multiple (single-line) POTS lines from the telephone service
provider.

Vonage provides a single-line POTS line, on the 'telephone' side of the
'adapter'.

Note, be sure to co-ordinate wih whomever is installing the Internet
'fractional' T-1, to arrange for an enhanced QOS, or at least
priority, for the VOIP traffic on your T-1. Three simultaneous voice
conversations can tie up 50% or more of that pipe. That's a big
enough share that you don't want the risk of 'non-real-time' traffic
pigging the bandwidth.
