I can definitely vouch for Sangomas cards with hardware echo cancel. Ive been installing Asterisk boxes for about 6 months now using Digium TDM cards and Sipura SPA-3000s in small installations. This past month I installed in a small office with 3 pots lines. The echo was very bad and of course the phone company (SBC) claims the lines pass all tests. I exhausted all the echo cancel combinations in zaptel and still had echo and bad noise during double talk. I installed a Sangoma A200 with hardware echo cancel and you would never know there was a problem. Its the best sounding connection Ive heard through Asterisk.

We got a replacement TE411P, I implemented it tonight and still the exact same echo problem. At this point I feel like I can rule out failed hardware. I contacted Digium support and now they are telling me it's something with my carrier, and I should call them. I called Bellsouth, and they ran a full stress test on the circuit taking me offline for about 30 minutes. The end result is that the circuit test passed with no errors. Bellsouth says it's not in their network, Digium says its not their card, and I have a te411p with VPM disabled in the wct4xx kernel module because something doesn't work the way it should. My customer is wanting to know about sangoma cards with the echo cancellation, and at this point I'm nervous to recommend any hardware. I'm going to look into the sangoma that you suggested. Are there any other kinds of products that I could look into either Passive or Active.

We have a Ditech EC box on order.....

Per Digium, I setup zaptel.conf, and zapata.conf the same way as I always have. To my surprise calls out to the PSTN had a terrible echo. 1 - 2 second delay, and quite clear. The echo was so bad that I had to remove the hardware echo cancellation module from the card. We are only using the 1st span of this card right now, and we have a tdm400p with 4 fxs modules installed as well. If anyone has experience with this card, can you tell me if I am missing something. 1 to 2 seconds?! That's ridiculously huge. I don't think you'll find a echo canceler anywhere that can fix your echo problem. If it gets better with the VPM disabled, then definitely contact Digium tech-support about it.
