Cisco 1601 - newbie question

[frl]

Hi,

I am trying to learn about routers and routers configuration. We have an old Cisco 1601 router in the office which is configured for dial-up backup (analog modem) if our main internet connection fails.It was configured before I got here. I connected to the router console with my laptop, just to see the configuration. But after starting messages about the router and software I get the following message:

%% Low on memory; try again later

How can I log into router? I will not add any more memory in it, because we will replace it soon. i just want to see how it is configured and try to learn basics commands on it.
Thanks!
