I am not shure if KSpice provide an additional different implementation method for lossy TL to 3G5.
I only found that in LTSpice there are undocumented model and it seems that also NGSpice have some codes similar KSpice.
"The undocumented CPL is a KSPICE-like element, which in theory should be similar to the RLGC model, but without frequency dependent loss (neither skin effect and nor frequency dependent dielectric loss). It also has at least one bug causing an incorrect output voltage offset (a workaround is to only use signals with no dc offset)."
http://ltwiki.org/?title=Undocumented_LTspice"CPL - Simple Coupled Multiconductor Lines (Kspice)
Initial Release.
Ver: N/A
Class: P
Level: 1 (and only)
Dir: devices/cpl
Status:
This model comes from swec and kspice. It is not documented, if
you have kspice docs, can you write a short description
of its use ?
- Does not implement parallel code switches
- Probably a lot of memory leaks
Enhancements over the original model:
- Better integrated into ngspice adding CPLask, CPLmAsk and
CPLunsetup functions

The approach is also interessting to me beside that I am off circuit simulator theory for nearly 3 decades. It could provide an interesting solution to multirate and retarding magnetic coupling for high-number-k netlists.
P.S. Sometime ago I got Solaris 2.6 running on sparc32-QEMU. But an old SUN is still more useable.
What was you compiler/OS/acrh?
