I think that I'm missing something, here.  Mike Sandman carries a number of
digit detection products, including some that have serial ports.  While they
are a bit pricey, you can check them out at:
http://www.sandman.com/digit.html.  That said, I am still missing a piece of
this puzzle.  If you are trying to intercept an incoming call, the call will
have to be answered before you will be able to listen for digits from the
outside caller.  At that point, how will you get the answering machine to
answer the call?

Subject: KX-T: DTMF detection for a pc

I know this is slightly off-topic but it is a modification for my Pan1232 to
allow it do some additional tricks.



Does anyone know if a product exists which plugs into a phone line and can
then send RS232 to a computer whenever it hears DTMF on the line? I need to
find a way for a PC to handle someone entering a string of DTMF digits in
order to check the number against a little database. If the number is valid,
a relay will close and the call will then be connected to a pre-recorded
message. (The line will be answered by a TAM).



I would rather not build a DTMF decoder from scratch (I need to make four
units in total), but I know that I *could* use a dtmf decoder IC and have it
sent its data through to the keyboard. I'm just hoping that a gadget already
exists so I do not have to re-invent the wheel.
