ECN = Electronic Crossover Network
It's the screen that shows the Market Makers and the alleged size of their
current Bid/Ask -- It theoretically allows you to click on a Particular MM
or other player (such as Island, Archipelago, etc.) and transact your trade
directly with them as opposed to just giving the order to a Broker and
having them execute it whenever and with whomever they wish.
