Try: copy start tftp
This will write the startup config to a tftp server.

Install CCP on a PC.  If your 1800 has CCP installed you can use the CCP GUI to download the config to a text file.  If CCP isn't installed on the router you can install it when you run the installer on your PC.
@ Paktusjet

Haha, yeah, sometimes we forget the simplest ways. :-)

To add to Paktusjet's comment.

type in terminal length 0 and you will not need to hit the spacebar. Worst case you can just highlight all of the config and paste it into a text file.

@ Paktusjet

Totally agree. Except for one thing: NO HYPERTERMINAL! That program should have been shredded the moment they programmed it.

Zennnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

Try something like putty instead :)
@erniebeek

LOL! I completely agree! Just assume all of my comments refer to putty. Haha! Hyperterminal is the worst!
@Soulja: Just assume all of my comments refer to putty. You just saved your own life there........

You've seen silence of the lambs? Well Hannibal is a pussy..........
Scared you, didn't I?

Ok ;)

Now back to business, Mr. Xavier (or was it Clariccccccccccccccccccccccce).
@nainasipra:

Sorry about that. Sometimes we get carried away (too much entousiasm :).
@all haters of hyperterminal

Lol! yea putty works to and you can do it the same way just cant capture text :p hmmm is the 1800 capable of SCP then? if thats the case just SCP it yourself...
Oh, but you can. From the screen (mark, copy) or to a file, no problem there.
@nainasipra: Thx for the points :) Glad you were able to read between the lines which I and Clariccccccccccccccccccccccce posted here ;)
