WAN Port Expansion?

Well, I am running a Cisco 2621xm with 2 T1's into 2 WIC-1DSU-T1-V2 configured for CEF (per packet destination). The 2621xm has only 2 WAN slots available. Is it feasable to add 3 or 4 T1's on this model as bandwidth increases in the future? I am guessing I would need to go and fill the AIM slot, but am not sure about which module to look into. Everyone I talk to (resellers) are pushing the 2800 series and don't give much info on modules. It would be nice to have info from someone who has working knowledge of the 2600 series in this fashion. Thanks!
 
2600 series are not designed for putting 3 to 4 T1s - you would be much better off with a more powerful router than this. Cisco don't recommend modules above T1 going into 2600 series routers - you should use a 3640 or even 3661/3662 as these have far superior processing power.
