Yes, but you'd have to specify all of the destination IPs that you want 
to go out the DSL line since the PIX can only have one default route. 
So if you wanted www.redhat.com to go out the 3rd interface, you could 
have something like:

route outside 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 (whatever the T1 IP is)
route 3rdint 209.132.177.0 255.255.255.0  (IP of dsl)
