[Asterisk-Users] echo paid support

[James Taylor]

Thanks guys,

The echo is there when T1 is connected directly to Asterisk box.

If connected to TNT first then to Asterisk via SIP, then Asterisk echo  
training kicks in (you can hear it 1st second or so) then only a little.

I haven't tried the steps below, but will when I build another box this  
next week.

Thanks,

James
