Abstract
A method of for canceling echos at a first end of a telephone call marks every other byte of a first digital representation of a first analog signal originating at the first end of the call with a signature. A second digital representation of a second analog signal from the second end of the call is received at the first end and split into a stream of odd number bytes and a stream of even number bytes. The streams of bytes are analyzed for the presence of the signature and one of the streams of bytes is converted to a third analog signal if the signature is detected.
