[THIN] Re: Is anyone aware of this/using this?

There are alternatives to the Cisco WAAS, including appliances /
products from Riverbed, Silver Creek, and Packeteer. I am particularly
enamored with the Packeteer devices myself. 
 
Cisco does make fine products, but they are expensive, and in this
particular space I think others are ahead of them technology wise (for
now, anyway).

WAAS is offered as an engine (server based) and as a network module

The NM is an NME type.
 
The 1841 has no NM module slot of any kind.
 
The 2811 is the smallest router that supposed NME modules.

I'm running 1841 routers; could I just plug in the WAAS into one of
these routers? Any idea on the cost?

I wrote a blog entry some time ago about this with some info.
(http://kenzig.blogspot.com/2006/09/on-citrix-wanscaler-and-waas-and-wah
.html  )  We are currently testing the Wanscaler and will be testing the
Cisco WAAS device next so I will be able to update you when I see it.  

I can tell you that the WAAS device is just a card that plugs in your
existing router which is a little more compelling and takes up less rack
space versus a whole 1 or 2 U dell server space that the wanscaler takes
up.

Sounds somewhat like Citrix WanScaler....
