Yes, the non-V cards include Fax/Modem and Voice (and of course other 
protocols like X.75, HDLC, V.110, ...) as well as Line-Interconnect
(channel-to-channel, card-to-card bridging).

For example the echo canceller. But as mentioned I will also implement the 
RTP (Eicon DIVA Server cards can work directly with RTP packets and do
the codec/anti-jitter stuff itself).
So when finished, the SIP phones will send their RTP packets to the DIVA 
card instead of Asterisk.
