Coax Line driver for pulse train generation

Hi,

 

I wish to drive a 50 ohm terminated coax cable from the pulse train I generate with a daq counter/timer.  My understanding is this board is limited to around 25 mA of drive current, which is not enough.  Can you recommend any chips or preferably an 'eval' board I can buy to serve this purpose?  Does NI sell anything?  Thanks.

Probably a 74HC(T)'140 or '244 with parralleled outputs? 

Some more information about timing and output level needed would help.

Or

I would give a '244 a try..
