Are these lines un-connected ? How much will the IC's, when mounted, load the lines ? Try to "load" the line with, let's say, a 1 MOhm res to gnd or vcc. My guess is that when everything is mounted you'll see much lower crosstalk. *If* your design realy is a high-impedance design, you could have problems. Jan-Erik.
