You might want to check into the 3com ab6200 as well.  It's the only box we
could find on the market that can imux more than 8 T1's (I assume it can do E1's
as well).  They say it should work up to 56 T1's, but you're out of HSSI
bandwidth long before then of course.  We're using it for 11 T1's imuxed right
now and it seems to work fine.
