The 29xx/39xx would be the logical replacements, but I haven't checked whether they support ATM/IMA.

Hello Mkeder123,

unfortunately there is no support of ATM IMA in ISR G2 series

see

>> Q. Will the integrated services routers generation 2 support traditional  interface types such as Inverse Multiplexing over ATM (IMA)?

A. The new routers are designed to provide the interfaces and services in  today's advanced networks and to keep up with network growth for many  years to come. As part of that design philosophy, some traditional  connection methods with very little market demand are not supported in  favor of more modern connection types. IMA is one such technology, and  it will continue to be available for some time on existing integrated  services routers. A full list of supported modules is available at http://www.cisco.com/go/isr.

So if you wanto keep using ATM IMA you should keep your 38xx router in place

Hope to help
