[SI-LIST] low inductance resistor

Hello SI Gurus
I'm working on a design for operation at 2.5GBaud. In modeling the path
from a Stratos Lightwave PECL driver to the TLK2501 receiver, I noticed that
it is not as clean as in the other direction. After much modelling, I'm
convinced that the problem is two-fold. First, the MLC driver is low
impedance and must be backmatched--a CML part with internal 50 ohms to Vcc
would have been a better choice. The backmatching resistor must be placed as
close as possible to the source, but via inductance and driver pin inductance
limits how effective this resistor is. Second, and definitely the worst
offender, is the fact that the TLK device requires external 50 ohm resistors
for the end terminations--this leaves stubs that ring, caused by the
inductance and capacitance of the pins, bond wires and input transistors.
Three questions:
1) Does anyone have any modelling information (internal pin models,
driver characteristics, risetimes, etc.) on the Stratos MLC-25-7-2-TL Optical
ATM OC-48 part? I'm using Pspice, but IBIS would be a help.
2) Does anyone know if the CML version offered by Stratos has
internal 50 ohms to Vcc? (I haven't had any success getting information from
the apps engineer at Stratos).
3) I've been able to control the ringing caused by the pin inductance
and input C of the TLK2501 by inserting a perfect 27 ohm resistor in series
with the input pin (the 50 ohm terminations are placed on the bottom of the
card, with the resistor being placed between the termination via and the
input pad on top of the card). The question is, what is the smallest
lowest-inductance part that I can use for this purpose?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
