Simple Cisco router setup questions

I have 2 Cisco 2500 routers that I want to setup to learn routing.  There are 2 serial ports, and 1 aui port in back on each.  How are these typically setup in a  test lab?  For example, do you simply connect a serial cable from router1 serial 0 to router 2 serial 0, setup an ip in the same range for both, and ping away?  

If this is correct and I were to add a 3rd router, do you just daisychain router 1 serial 0 > router 2 serial 0 then router 2 serial 1 > router 3 serial 0?

How is the aui interface typically utilized?

Sorry, the link give me 403 HTTP forbidden.  
It was the AUI port I was referring to.  What is that typically used for?

Also uetian1707's link does work it was just broken when posting try:
http://www.chzy.org/jwc/jpkc/zwgc/work/pdf/ScenarioLabs.pdf 

If that doesn't work copy and paste it into your browser, I skimmed it and it looks okay.
yeah the link was ok....You can type it in your browser.
I realized later that I didn't copy the whole link.  I now have it and read through and saw that you can use the DCE/DTE cable to connect 2 routers via their serial ports.  I will use the transceiver I have laying around for the Ethernet0 connection.  Thanks everyone.
