If I ended up doing an external TT decoder, I'd probably use the Comm Spec unit.

NHRC has a DTMF control board for $90
<http://www.nhrc.net/nhrc- >remote-plus/
however it controls 8 devices.
A similar device is described here:
<http://www.atv-projects. >com/html/ dtmf_control. html
A garage door opener based design is here:

Ramsey has a 4-channel device for $40 here... but
I've never had good luck with Ramsey... every item
of theirs that I've built has been a little short on the
engineering.
