This directory is about Acoustic Echo Cancellation for Voice over IP. If you have two-way communication with speakerphone (hands-free telephone) you need Acoustic Echo Cancellation (AEC). The following files explain AEC and can patch the sources of the Kphone GNU/Linux program to a Kphone program with AEC.
Note: The AEC in Kphone and Simph323 are outdated. The latest AEC version is included in intercom. See http://andreadrian.de/intercom/
There is also a Frequently Asked Questions file.

Have fun and don't hesitate to write me an e-mail if you have problems.
Remember, AEC is a real-time algorithm normally run on a DSP. This
is not Visual Basic for Apprentice we are doing here. It is more like
rocket science (okay, it is more like computer science). You mess with
Mrs. Murphy here. Please believe me, this source code is working.
The iLBC Codec is from Global IP Sound, see
http://www.globalipsound.com/
Kphone was originally developed by Billy Biggs.
Today it is maintained by Wirlab.
