Our Cisco 2514 has a 68030 processor. I remember that the stumbling
block in upgrading the OS was memory. We didn't have (or it couldn't
hold) enough to run the newest IOS. Now that we have dumped IPX, though,
it may be possible. In any case, I'm sure you'll need a very recent
version of the IOS, and the 2500 series may not take enough memory to
load it...
