Interesting. Latest bristuff chenges the default Zaptel echo canceller
to MG2 (which is also the recommendation of Digium now). 


BTW: as an alternative to zaphfc+flotz, consider vzaphfc. It seems that
the only place from which you can download an up-to-date version
nowadays is the Debian zaptel package:

http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/pkg-voip/zaptel/trunk/vzaphfc/
http://packages.debian.org/zaptel-source
