Hmm. Okay, so the PA-MC-T3 breaks the DS3 down to individual DS1's (T1's). Is there nothing equivalent at the OC3 level?

We are looking for a fully channelized OC3 interface for a Cisco 7200 VXR. Something that we can break individual T1's off of. In researching this there are two routes: PA-POS-1OC3 or PA-A3-OC3SMI. The first is SONET and the second is ATM.

Other than price what is the difference? Which is needed?

I don't believe either interface supports anything other than concatenated operation, i.e. a full 155 Mb/s interface; you can't break the OC3 into its component STS slots to break out DS3, CT3, T1, etc...

Also, the interface you'd buy would be determined by the transport type. A POS OC3 interface might be able to physicall terminate a ATM OC3, but it won't be able do any of the ATM stuff.
