Sounds doable. So with a 1751, I should be able to do an xconnect on
each of my two interfaces, and thereby string two L2TPv3 pseudowires
beteen my sites?

With two 1751s I don't suppose I'll need the 871s though (my need is
connecting LANs site A - my871 - ethernet - ethernet2ATMconverter -
ATM - 7200 - ATM - ethernet2ATMconverter - ethernet - my871 - LANs
site B, where the LANs are currently two untagged RJ45s on each side
but could be a single RJ45 with a dot1q trunk).

In your opinion, no way of doing it with L2TP on my 871s?
