Talk to them. If the router can do it, they should be happy to do it for you. It's easier on the router to export them than for you to continuously connect to the console and dump them. That's easier loadwise. IMNSHO using the console for this type of thing is bad.

Setup on the router is 3 lines... 

ip flow-export source Loopback0
ip flow-export version 5 origin-as
ip flow-export destination <your host> 2055

(plus turning on flow cache on the interfaces, but most
do that by default, big win.)

I would go so far as to say that if they wouldn't do this for you, Replace Them.
