The "ROM" is a piece of hardware,you will have to search the WEB for a retailer.
In any case why would you need such a high performance IOS on a terminal server.

troop37,

What tells you you need to upgrade your ROM??? Do you mean more DRAM? You seem to have latest ROM and 16 MGS FLASH, seems it is DRAM that you need! 2500 will 16 mgs MAX and you have 2048K/2048K bytes of memory.

If you need to upgrade your ROM, you replace the ROM chips, here is one source I have used or you can check Ebay -

However, it looks like your ROM: System Bootstrap, Version 11.0(10c), is the latest from what I can find on Google, if your ROM chips are "bad" I do not thinkl you can reprogram them!

Boot Rom Upgrade for 2500 Series Router
After Upgrade You Can Use AMD Flash or INTEL Flash Memory! -

Here is how to do it -

If you need DRAM, you can get it on Ebay or from Anthony Panda.

Hope this helps!!
