Welcome. I use the db60-db60 in my home lab to connect my 2500's. Check on ebay, they go for about 20 bucks.
Check out the following link for pinouts, you can make your own but the pins are darn small (take my word on it) http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/779/smbiz/service/knowledge/pinouts/ Watch the wrap, if any. with the v.35 cables, one end would be dce and the other dte. Just be carefull which end is which. db60------V.35 | V.35 ---- db60 | | | | DTE DCE DCE DTE If that's what your refereing to then I don't think it'll work due to both far ends being DTE's. Lemme know if you have any more questions. I had to discover this stuff out the hardware way so maybe I can advise a little more.
