The short answer is - Yes.

A long time ago, in a galaxy far far away, there were modems. You plugged the phone line into them and then plugged the modem into your coms/serial port. The software would then send commands to the modem to send the appropriate tones for '*' '2' '1'' <phone number>' '#'.

I see no reason why you still can't do it. CodeProject had several examples you can use to send the appropriate code to your modem/router and it should also be possible to interface with the modem/router via the network rather than the serial port.

You may need an API to the router, not the telco service provider.
