The LVDS outputs are point-to-point. On the edge of the board i have a
connector, and from there the signals go via twisted pair flat cables
to other boards wich each have input termination.

I am also astonished by this, but the pattern of delays is the same
for a number of boards (4), so it is not an erratic effect and also
cannot be caused by the discriminator modules.

Thanks for that info, i was unable to extract it from the data sheet...

It would not be point-to-point, but rather a 3 to 4 drop
configuration, because i need 3 or 4 LVDS versions of the same TTL signal.
