This is a basic DAA that I have built in the past. Simulate this circuit – Schematic created using CircuitLab The actual circuitry of a DAA is not difficult: a 1:1 ratio 50V transformer, optoisolator for ring detector, reed relay for a hookswitch and a capacitor to couple audio will make a usable one. You can probably find enough parts online for a one off, otherwise, Microchip has published code to make a PIC decode DTMF.

Texas Instruments also used to make a few DTMF decoder chips. To build your embedded controller, you would then add a DTMF to binary decoder such as the now-defunct Silicon Systems SSI202. It comprises the isolation from the telephone line, audio balancing hardware, hookswitch, and typically a ring indicator for incoming calls. If you can't find one that is designed to detect tones, then what you need is the part of a modem called a Data Access Arrangement. Useful for a reality check on one-way audio or excessive audio delay.An ordinary modem will not be sufficient if you want to pass DTMF.

The system will echo back in real time what you said. Have you ever called a voicemail system or bank by phone system and not been able to make menu selections? This test helps confirm the source of common “after connect” DTMF dialing issues on VOIP telephone systems and services.
