OK, one last go and I give up. Lets look at the documentation for Dialogic springware. This is the DSP package that loads in their cards or runs on the host in HMP applications. It does things like DTMF generation and detection for all Dialogic cards except the DM3 series. The documentation say

To share my experience: I had issues with echo with many E1 trunks in Serbia, especially when voice in between telco's network went to well known bad analog lines.

Sharing my humble experience: in Brazil we usually need echo cancellation to have reliable DTMF detection _and_ voice quality over E1 lines (be it on MFC/R2 - r2d - or ISDN PRI lines), either for sip/tdm gateway devices or IVR applications. Usually there's no need for echo cancellation on links fr
