It'd be a bit of a waste, wouldn't it, with 40 Gbps per (half) slot?

Yes - get a smaller box.  Foundry has a line of CPE that may do what you 
want; otherwise its competitors (Juniper, Cisco etc.) have several 
routers that do so, and companies like RAD and MRV I guess make small 
Ethernet-to-DS3 bridges.
