I have two 2600 series routers with two wic-2t WAN cards already live on the network. I need to add a network module and another wic-2t for a total of 6 serial ports.
According to Cisco, this unit will support up to 4 wix-2t cards.
I understand I have to upgrade the IOS to at least 12.1, but I am unclear on exactly how to pick the software to upgrade to. I am concerned with supporting the additional hardware I am adding (NM-2W, WIC-2T).
Is it possible to render the router unbootable if I pick the wrong IOS image?
How do I find a compatable IOS?
I am not sure what all to look for other than flash and RAM size
I have pasted the "SH VER".

Any help is greatly appreciated.

You should call Cisco, and have them choose the IOS for you.
