Well, also keep in mind that pure ATM/FR is becoming more and more of an =
edge service, where it is actually transported as MPLS in the core. =
Thus, an MPLS VPN does make more sense in some cases (why would I want =
to take a beating on cell tax if I don't have to?)

And being replaced with .... ? GigE? DPT/RPR? MPLS?
ATM is a great technology... Unfortunately, I don't think it was ever
fully utilized.. From what I understand, MPLS takes some of the good
bits and combines it with traditional routing.. But I don't see a lot
of MPLS implementations either...
