Console pinouts for Cisco 771M Anyone?

This router has a DB9 female connector on the chassis!

I had a cisco access point with just a DB9 female as well :

It was the only port other than the RJ45 connection on it which made me think it was a console port of some kind as well so a pinout would be good if any one knows.

I have a very old cisco access server with a DB9 Fem connecter and it came with the cable, I buzzed it out with a fluke and its straight through on 2, 3 ,4,5 and 7 nothing on 1,6,8 and 9

Yup, solder-free. Just push the pin into the appropriate hole.

It's called a "rolled" or "rollover" cable and you can use CAT5 cable to make one. Here are the pinouts:
