2. Is only a problem in 2-wire technologies (ie analog and BRI ISDN lines)?




It is just an analog problem. That is why a BRI can actually transmit
direct digital data instead of audio data.





There is enough spill from the earpiece to the mike on most phones, that EC is required even on a digital phone.



Fine, but to get an earpiece, you make an analog portion of the link unless someone has made some digital ears with direct data jacks on the side of human heads.

So if you say that a SIP handset is like a 4 wire set, and BRI is like a
4 wire set, and asterisk doesn't mix the ins and outs, you effectively
are 4 wire through the portion you can control. The remote side is up to
whoever you call.


What you said was not actually wrong. However, 9 out of 10 people reading it will see "echo is something that affects only analogue phones". People keep saying this. Its even in comments in the * source code. Its wrong.
