Depending on what type of wic you have, you can connect via a back to back serial connection or over a Telco service.

The other router will also be dependant on what type of WIC you are using and what exactly you want to do with it. We would really need more information in order to advise you.

It sounds like your WIC is a WIC-1T if it has a V.35 cable. The other end of the cable is a DB-60 male connector (4 rows of 15 pins each row). Is the V.35 end of the cable male or female? If it is male, it is probably a DTE cable.

If you have another Cisco router with a serial interface, you can put a cable on that serial port with DCE pinouts and female V.35 connector. Then, plug the two cables together, making a serial crossover cable connection.

On the serial interface with the DCE cable directly attached to it, run the "clockrate xxxxxxx" command, where xxxxxx is a number. Here's a configuration example:

Hope this helps.
