COMMENTS
Observe that T(n,k) = binomial(n,k) (mod n). Because the sum of the n n-th roots of unity is 0 for n>1, each row is symmetric for n>1. Hence only k=0..floor(n/2) need to be computed. - T. D. Noe, Jan 16 2008

EXAMPLE
Triangle begins:
{1},
{1, 0},
{1, 0, 1},
{1, 0, 0, 1},
{1, 0, 2, 0, 1},
{1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1},
{1, 0, 3, 2, 3, 0, 1},
{1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1},
{1, 0, 4, 0, 6, 0, 4, 0, 1},
{1, 0, 0, 3, 0, 0, 3, 0, 0, 1},
T(10,4)=10, counting {1,2,6,7}, {1,3,6,8}, {1,4,6,9}, {1,5,6,10}, {2,3,7,8}, {2,4,7,9}, {2,5,7,10}, {3,4,8,9}, {3,5,8,10}, {4,5,9,10}.
