>> A "slower" driver (slew rate limited) is rarely a good solution, >> a better one is always a properly designed transmission >> line and termination. The difference between theory and practice is often greater in practice than in theory. Here we have left the world of nice well behaved digital electronics and entered the arcane darkness of RF. While a reflectionless situation is the ideal (constant impedance transmission line, no termination impedance "bumps" at intermediate nodes, correct far end termination, ... .), real world impedance bumps, especially in a multinode situation, are hard to avoid and both reducing reflections AND increasing immunity to them is usually advisable [tm].
