It's been a long while since I've used ROMMON on 3600s, but based on 
past experiences it's likely only xmodem will be available as the ROMMON 
doesn't tend to support cards beyond what what avaialble at FCS. The 
fastest way of getting an image onto the router after upgrading internal 
flash is going to be a PCMCIA flash card in the front slot - failing 
that, use the CON/AUX port on the front and set it to 56k or 115k. 
(Again, I can't remember if AUX works in ROMMON, but it's better to use 
that if possible as the console has no flow control in hardware)
