Darin, if you telnet your router and paste the configuration that you have in your text editor, you are going to paste it to the running-config and you are not going to overwrite it you are going to parse it!! With that method you can't ensure to reset your configuration to the "clean" one.
I agree that the best way to resolve the problem is installing a TFTP server (you can find one in Cisco's CD-ROM) and downloading the right configuration to your startup-config: Cisco_1#copy tftp startup-config After that all you have to do is reload the router.
