You still don't understand the echo question. The echo canceller inside VoIP phones cancels the echo introduced *BY* the phone, not the echo coming from the line. Let alone that the phone should use an acoustic echo canceller so, g.167, not g.168.
Daniele, relax, OK?

Here, it is clearly stated, that BT 101 (and 102, too) implements *LINE ECHO CANCELATION*. Please, take a look:

NOT the acoustic echo canceler. FYI, it seems that GRANDSTREAM implemented ONLY one IP phone engine and then it is used in the budgetone and also in analog adapters, they sell. The web interface is the same (for the phone and for the adapter - I have them both).

I have tested them and it seems they quite effectively nullify echo from most (analog) systems I have tested.

So, your test is wrong, since you cannot cancel the remote echo with an echo canceller that cancels local echo.
Daniele, I had two very annoying cases:

1. A PBX, connected to ISDN BRI lines (2 to 6 of them), the PANASONIC PBX, using proprietary analog phones. This is one case.

2. The second case is the SIEMENS DECT base station, with 2 or more DECT wireless phones attached to it. No PBX no nothing, the base station is directly connected to the ISDN BRI.

In both cases, I have heard the annoying echo. When I used the SNOM 190 IP phone, I have clearly heard the echo in both cases. In a minute later, I have used the BT 101 phone and the echo from the first case was gone, but not in the second case. In both cases, SNOM 190 and BT 101 were connected to my (*), with the vISDN v0.14, asterisk is 1.0.9 version, kernel 2.6.13, the system is FC4.

Now what can I do now is to repeat the test, with bristuff this time (I have the IBM box, with TWO FC4 systems installed, the second installation is based on asterisk 1.2.1, bristuff 0.30.0, kernel 2.6.14). I will set the system not to cancel the echo, and use the BT101 again, to make a call to the first case.

To see, if BT 101 cancells echo, or not.

But as I said, since this echo cancellation is limited to just a bt101 phone AND somehow, the echo phenomena is NOT cancelled in one of two very basic cases, BT 101 echo cancellation is not useful to me. And this is what I stated in my previous mail. WHY SIEMENS DECT phone exhibits echo it is yet to be determined. But bristuff cancells it for sure.

Regarding the acustic echo cancellation (g.167 or something close to it).Please correct me, if I am wrong... This type of cancellation is needed in cases, when the voice from the speaker comes to the microphone, due to several reasons - for example when using a laptop with speakers and the microphone.

THE BEST example for acustic echo cancellation is Skype. I'm using it too and a friend of mine uses it too. He is using it on a laptop, with integrated mic and speakers. When using it with Skype client 1.3, echo HEARD ON MY SIDE rendered the conversation almost useless. Thus a friend of mine HAD to use the headset with a microphone. Interestingly enough, when using Skype client 1.4, he does not need to use the headset. He can talk to me freely and I can use my laptop in the same manner, too. I'm using the 1.4 version on my side.

Thus I assume, Skype client 1.4 introduced the acustic echo cancellation. Am I right, or not, Daniele?
