[nsp] Imux'ing T3s?

I need to provision about 250mb/s of clearchannel IP capacity between two
POPs. I'd prefer to do this over OC12POS, but WCOM is 6 months behind
capacity for us right now, and can't provide us any additional optical
services into that building.

So I am stuck using DS3s with the ILEC. I'd rather not stick 2 6port DS3
cards (1 in each router) to get the job done while we are waiting for WCOM
capacity. Are there any good DS3-IMUX solutions to either 100Mbit/s or
1000Mbit/s ethernet? Or can anyone recommend a good (emphasis on small
rack space requirements) Cisco box that can handle that?

If I have to terminate the DS3s in a router, I was thinking (from a rack
space point-of-view) either an M20 or a 7206VXR. The Juniper seems like
overkill because there are no complex routing needs and even a 4-5xDS3
bridge would be more than sufficient.

Any ideas would be most appreciated.
