What a great solution (if you have another router).  come to think of that,
when I sent out upgrade kits (in the olden days), I used to have one 2500
that was my 'load router', and I'd swap flash in and out of it and send out
the flash with the IOS upgrades.  The local SEs would then crack the box and
install the new flash.  forgot all about that...seems like it was 5 years
ago (because it was)

We started doing that after discovering that it took 2 hours to do a tftp
download (6Mbyte) over an international 64kbps serial line, and that those
downloads didn't always work sucessfully.  My boss decided that the flash
cost less than 4 hours of my labor to watch a download fail twice, and the
egg on our face when the download did fail.
