1721 and Putty

I picked up a 1721 on eBay and after a dozen tries I got Putty to connect, I'm not sure what the deal was. Anyways it finally spit out the below. I used to have one of these, with no WICs and never saw so much text. What am I to make of it?

    First thing I'd do is erase the startup config and start fresh. If you're having trouble connecting with PuTTY, make sure it's set to 9600 8N1 with no Flow Control. (And of course using a proper rollover cable.)

    Just left over configuration from the last person who owned it. It appears there was once a WIC-4ESW and WIC-1DSU-56K installed in the router, which were removed prior to selling it. The startup config still contains commands referencing these no longer existent interfaces causing IOS to spit out error after error.

    If you can get to privileged mode, just type:

    write erase

    Confirm and then type:

    reload

    Hit enter again, confirm and when the router finished reloading it should ask if you want to enter the initial configuration dialog. Just say no and you will be placed in user mode with a clean (blank) config to do with as you please.

    If you cannot reach privileged mode, turn the router off and back on. Hit the break key or CTRL+Break as the router is starting until you see:

    ROMMON 1>

    Then, you will type:

    confreg 0x2142

    followed by:

    reset

    Once the router reboots, go to privileged mode and enter the following commands:

    enable
    write erase
    configure terminal
    configuration-register 0x2102
    reload
