Steve.

Its not about ISI, ( intersymbol interference) as I recall. Its all about test 
equipment, accuracy and precision results in smaller reflections and better 
VSWR within the bandwidth of interest.. Good quality test equipment is all 
about precision, but precision costs money as we all know.  We were making a 
tester box that connected to multi channel wide bandwidth cable ( single ended 
50 ohms ) and tested with 35ps risetime signaling from Tek equipment. It worked 
but was expensive to make.
