Well, Yes, but I have never tried doing this as I don't have a PSTN
line so was unable to comment as to whether this might be possible 'as
is' but I couldn't see a way.
Building up a DTMF detector isn't difficult. I once did it to control
a remote computer over the phone. Put together that and perhaps a
transistor to drive a relay and it's done.
