Agh, what I meant was the echo is heard from the PSTN side. It seems echo canceling on the T1 (going to channelbank) does nothing, I'm assuming because the T1 is "digital" and the channelbank is the traversal from digital to analog.

This is nearly almost present when calling an analog phone at the far end. On short links without VoIP the reflected energy will sound like a nice sidetone. For longer links (e.g. international) and VoIP you need an echo canceler in the call path. Since you have an analog phone attached to an endpoint there may be an echo heared from the pstn as well. Both these echos can be reduced by adding an echo canceler that has its tail (i.e. subtracts the right amount of the slightly delayed transmitted signal from the received signal) into both directions. Asterisk can act as such an echo canceler. Asterisk may not be the very best echo canceler available, but it may be good enough. Try it and see.
