And echo freaking VANISHED.  (Note that, with EC disabled, I do get echo
about 1/6 of the places I call.  So it's really, truly working, and not
just luck.)

They use the G.168-2002 algorithm; I, personally, had never heard of it
before, but I bounced it off a friend of mine (he's a hardware architect
for a major VoIP switch manufacturer -- they sell to places like Time
Warner), and he was of the opinion that G.168 is the _ONLY_ algorithm.

So, from now on, I'm doing DSP-based EC.  And Sangoma just came out with
some analog cards with EC -- haven't tried 'em out yet, but I'm looking
forward to doing so.

G.168-2002 is not an algorithm. It is a test spec. The algorithms are up to the implementor. They need to pass the tests in G.168-2002. Most only pass a subset of those tests. You need to look at the fine print to see what that subset it. If your friend thing G.168 is an algorithm, I would not trust his competance.
