All : many thanks for your replies - I havent replied before as I was trying to get an environment where I can reproduce this echo. Only some progress so far. A few questions re your comments: - is there a way to disable via software the VPM module ? I take the suggestion of removing physically the board as interesting, unfortunately, the server is in a remote location with strict access conditions... if it could be done by software, that would be great - I've upgraded to the latest dahdi (2.3.0) tonight, I will see if there are any improvements - regarding echowhenbridge, echocancel, etc... do these parameters apply to hardware echo canceller as well ? my understanding was this applied only to software EC - does anyone has a proper doc for this module ? Many thanks for your precious help, J.
