Well, the MX can now support SONET/SDH, DS-3 and ATM. That said, given how "quick" an MX slot is, the lower the port speed you stick in it, the higher your operating costs. The same rings true for the M320/T320 boxes. If you want really low speed, would suggest an M7i/M10i or even an ASR1000 (the latter being better as it also has decent Ethernet capacity). Otherwise, if the majority of your interconnects are going to be Ethernet, the M-series has seen its days (although even with non-Ethernet support on the MX, the ASR1000 still kicks its behind when you consider complex mix-and-match scenarios).
