I agree with Dave Goodenough's solution, that most likely a null modem
is needed with the cable that is currently being used.  I found that one
can often get by with just a 4-wire cable, with 1-1, 2-3, 3-2, and 7-7 in
the cable, and pins 8-20 wired independently at each end.  Seems to keep
the devices happy.  By the way, this is a standard cable assembly available
from INMAC among other places.
