An extra comment

Andrew Ingraham made the following comment, and I think he might be right.

"When the driver initially switches, and until the round-trip delay of the attached transmission line, the driver effectively sees a load of Rpullup in parallel with 60 ohms. After reflections on the transmission line have died out, it sees mostly just the Rpullup. So maybe you should provide waveforms for both values of R_fixture in the model file, and hope that the simulator knows how to figure it out and interpolate between them."

Currently, I just have the following 4 waveforms
[Rising waveform] 60 3.3 3.0 3.6 NA NA NA NA NA
[Falling waveform] 60 3.3 3.0 3.6 NA NA NA NA NA
[Rising waveform] 60 2.5 2.3 2.7 NA NA NA NA NA
[Falling waveform] 60 2.5 2.3 2.7 NA NA NA NA NA

The final value for the high voltage is dependent on Vpullup and Rpullup and not the transmission line.

As Andy suggest, should I also include some extra waveforms, which shows this situation and do the simulators have the ability to use these anyway?

******** Original circuit ********************
Vpullup is either 2.5V or 3.3V. Rpullup > 1.5k ohm
