Please wrap your lines to something like 72 columns.

That won't work. Both pin 1's are outputs and pin 2/8 are both inputs.
Try:
Mini8 RJ45 Name
1 8 Mac's ready to receive
2 1 Cisco's ready to receive
3 6 Data from mac to Cisco
5 3 Data from Cisco to Mac
Shame about pins 6-8 on the mac. I hope 7 is tied to ground...
Note also that full hardware handshaking here would require cdtrcts
handshaking. NetBSD named HSKo DTR, HSKi CTS, and GPi DCD.

Sounds like cable issues.
Take care,
