Why use a SONET mux to run Ethernet?  The ONS does Ethernet but not  
particularly well.  You would be better off running CWDM and GigE  
along with your SONET and leave the packets off the ONS.

We use the Paradyne IPD12000E (now Zhone) to handle our T1, SHDSL  
terminations.  Ethernet to the customer,  GigE to me.  Works great.   
I terminate the VLANs on a Cisco router, no need for PPPoE, although  
that will come in handy when I deploy residential service.
