This OSLEC code, *and* the standard EC that the Zaptel modules provide, 
give LINE echo cancellation. That is fairly short duration echo as the 
round-trip delay is at wirespeed (0.7C or more). If you have any cards 
connecting to the PSTN over copper - you will almost certainly need echo 
cancellation. You almost certainly have it anyway, just didn't know 
about it probably.

Hope this Helps
