All-digital setups do not *generate* echo since there is no hybrid circuit to
reflect energy. However all-digital systems can still have echo if the
far-side is a 2-wire system and the latency is sufficiently high. (Anything
with a PCI bus can bring this latency up easily.)
Also, if you have an ueber-cheap phone which acoustically couples the speaker
in the handset with the mic you can introduce echo on your all-digital system
that way. The same goes for cheap speakerphones and/or acoustically "hard"
rooms.

So the next question becomes... Is hardware EC necessary or can *
handle it in software? I am looking at some pretty beefy hardware for
my platform, a Dell PE2850 with dual Xeon 3Ghz processors and plenty of
RAM to spare. I am likely starting with a single T-1 PRI line and
expending to 2 within a year, but that would be the max. I am not sure
of how many simultaneous calls that would be, but let's assume I want
to use a b-channel's worth of bandwidth for each, so 23 max to begin
with.<br>
<br>
Can * do software echo cancellation for 23 (and eventually 46) calls on
a dual Xeon 3.0Ghz system?<br>
