Yes you can use it, B-Flets use PPPoE which means you need to have one
of the latest IOS images. So that is your first step. I haven't upgraded
flash, Cisco site should have details.

The next step is you need a working configuration. I will email you one
directly (for security reasons I won't post it here) email me if I
forget.

A 2514 is very slow only 3 mega which will seriously degrade your
B-Flets speed. You may prefer to put a second ethernet card in your
computer and use your computer as a router (Windows can do this), so you
will still have good speed, the computer will also do PPPoE for you
which will make your cisco config simpler.
