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.=20
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=20
handshaking. NetBSD named HSKo DTR, HSKi CTS, and GPi DCD.

Sounds like cable issues.

Take care,
