Cisco 2801 Configuration Help

I'm running CISCO2801 SEC/K9  (Role will be vpn router single connection)

Cisco 2801 (revision 7.0) with 238592K/23552K bytes of memory.
Processor board ID FTX1137W115
2 FastEthernet interfaces
1 Virtual Private Network (VPN) Module
DRAM configuration is 64 bits wide with parity disabled.
191K bytes of NVRAM.
125440K bytes of ATA CompactFlash (Read/Write)
*configuration register is set to 0x2102*

I need config help to connect & configuration to a non cisco (clear access)  adsl modem - bridge mode and static ip : SSS.SSS.SSS.214 sub 255.255.255.192 gw GGG.GGG.GGG.193

(modem) fe 0/0 SSS.SSS.SSS.214 sub 255.255.255.192
(router) fe 0/1 10.10.25.100 255.255.255.0

This router will connect to a R-45 patch panel and connect directly to a single workstation.
The workstation will use IBM Host PCOMM for mainframe client access.

What are the commands to set up my configuration?
Do I have to use the console RJ45 to DB-9 to manage this router every single time? (my laptop has no serial connection)
How do I program this device for VPN?

There's a lot of information on Cisco's web site about basic configurations.  For starters, take a look at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/routers/access/1800/1801/software/configuration/guide/routconf.html

Basic console connection instructions:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk801/tk36/technologies_tech_note09186a0080094465.shtml

Once you have a basic configuration on the router you can set up telnet or SSH access to the device so you don't have to set up the serial connection every time.  Just be aware that you can easily change parameters that will break your access to the router, whether it's because of routing issues or permissions. A console connection is the safest way to do configurations because you're much less likely to lose the connection.
