According the Sangoma data sheet, the Octasic part _is_ the DSP (which it is, in a logical sense). The board does not relieve Asterisk/Zaptel of any additional burden beyond echo cancellation and tone detection at this time; Asterisk/Zaptel don't know how to take advantage of any of the more advanced Octasic features yet.

And yes, when Digium's Octasic-based module starts shipping (currently in beta testing), it will offer the identical functionality, so I guess we can say our boards have 'DSP processing' too :-)
