I have a setup similar to yours; 3 x X100p, Snom 200s, etc. I haven't been too upset about the echo, although I haven't been able to eliminate that issue either. I don't really have any answer for you, but it raises a question I'd like to pose to the list. Are standalone FXO gateways like the Mediatrix substancially better than the X100p solution? They cost more, but might be worth it.<BR>

<FONT FACE="Arial"><FONT SIZE="2" POINTSIZE="10">Hi, <BR>
<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
Have posted to this list a couple of times and have always received great responses and help. I have a basic * system setup <BR>
<BR>
Using 3 X100P cards with 6 Snom200 IP phones. It was a bit of a struggle getting everything up and running but have been pretty happy with <BR>
<BR>
the flexibility and ease of *. My major problem is one that has been discussed on this list many times before. The echo from the X100P cards is <BR>
<BR>
completely irritating to my users. I have tweaked the system as much as I can, IE: switching tip and ring, using aggressive suppressor, tweaking the TX/RX <BR>
<BR>
settings. There is still echo in the first 0-8 seconds of the call while the echo cancellation is catching up. I understand the problem is that you do not hear this <BR>
<BR>
echo in analog systems even though it is present and it is only heard in the digital system because it is not as fast as analog. <BR>
<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
So here is my problem. Our CEO wants me to get rid of the system unless I can provide a solution that will expand and work just as good as an analog replacement <BR>
<BR>
PBX. He came to me with this decision after trying to use the Snom200 speaker phone for a conference call, not a good idea as we all know the speaker on this phone <BR>
<BR>
is not a conference phone replacement. He also was frustrated when he tried to patch a call that came to another extension, which transferred fine, but was disconnected when the receiving party made a switch on their PBX to another extension and it was dropped. <BR>
<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
Currently we have 4 POTS lines and I have 1 setup for DSL and the other 3 hooked into the X100P cards, 2 outgoing and 2 incoming, using the DSL as incoming rollover. <BR>
<BR>
We are planning on expanding our business pretty rapidly and he wants a system that will be easy to setup and scale. I know asterisk and VOIP phones are great for this <BR>
<BR>
but the little glitches in the phones, hardware wise, are not supporting my Asterisk decision. I would like to upgrade to a channel bank, and was wondering if anyone has had any echo issues with other digium hardware. I know that the X100P issue comes from not having ECAN DSP in the card. I was also wondering if anyone had any luck adding a conference phone such as the Polycom Soundstation Conference Phone. Any suggestions would be appreciated <BR>
<BR>
