[c-nsp] Cisco 10k?

[Justin Shore]

I've never used a 10k so someone else will have to speak to that.  You 
might want to consider looking at the new ASR 1000 series though.

http://www.cisco.com/go/asr

They are supposed to be positioned between the 7200s and the 7600s so 
they might be able to do what you want.  I imagine they can anyway.  You 
may also want to pick up used 7500s if all you want to do is terminate DS3s.
