Re: Training sequences in hybrid echo cancellers

Started by Maurice Givens February 14, 2002
The hybrid is not connected until the connection is made when the called
is off hook. Therefore, the called party would hear the training
sequence. This is considered annoying and unacceptable by the carriers. Maurice Givens
