Can typical wireless routers/access points be used with non-cable/DSL connections?

I was wondering if there's any reason a wireless router couldn't be used with a T3 LAN connection. Most of the routers I've seen specify that they're intended for use with cable or DSL connections, but I don't know if that's just because most home user broadband connections use those two types of service.
 
Most phone boxes already have a router, and T1/T3 line would connect directly to main LAN switch(es), Check with your telco/service provider on what their set up will be like and then buy equipment based on their suggestions.
 
You could use a home wireless router as a wireless access point for the network, but it wouldn't be able to connect directly to the T1/T3 line coming in from the telco.
 
Providers's equipment, including their router, then sent to a SOHO NAT router will work yes. If you just wanted to segment your LAN away from the WAN, then it can and will work. Well, it depends on some variables but in principle and in practice it can work. Never done it with a T3 connection. Few times with a T1.
