Ignore until you fail E1 testing... then go redesign it and make it work.
Return loss testing can be a source of headache. DON'T IGNORE the 120 ohms.

Kaps,
Perhaps others may not agree, but personally, I wouldn't worry too much abo=
ut the 120 ohms for E1/T1. Considering the wavelengths (and any practica=
l trace lengths you are likely to have) at those low frequencies, my main=
consideration about the trace width would be mostly to do with the desig=
n of the protection circuit. Of course, it still makes sense to keep the=
traces belonging to the same pair close to each other.
Regards,
Sandor
