My Betamax (SMSListo) VOIP works fine with an ATA (Linksys PAP2-NA).
However, I like to use the softphone with the PC speaker (turned down
very low) and a microphone around my neck.
Everybody complains about the echo (~2 sec delayed).

I never get complaints of echo with Skype, even with the PC speaker
quite loud.

I suppose the obvious comment is Skype has excellent echo
cancellation, but Betamax does not.

Any comments or solutions.

Thanks.

Use a full headset and see if that helps. If it does it's the absence
of the echo cancelation

It does help - a lot.
So basically it ssems there is no / poor echo cancelation on the
Betamax softphone, where Skype does an excellent job.

X-Lite is probably the most ubiquitous one
At least these 3rd party ones don't keep loging themselves out if the
account is registered somewhere else, like the official Betamax
softphone does.
