RJ,
It stands for WAN Interface Connection card.
These are add-on cards for molular routers such as 1600,1700,2600,3600, et
al.
There are different types of cards based on the connection you are wanting
to configure on the router.
Cisco's idea was to improve on the router's hardware configuration from a
fixed format to the modular in the above mentioned models to provide a
cost-effective solution to networks that are constantly changing their
campus designs from Frame Relay to ISDN to ATM, etc.
Instead of having to purchase a new router with the required new hardware
config, one can use the WIC's to "mix and match" with the existing modular
router's one owns in order to accomplish the desired custom hardware
configuration.
