Choosing the smallest value of coupling capacitor that will still pass the tones can help a lot. This forms a high-pass filter so the "thumps" become more like "clicks". Most devices that receive DTMF will not be affected by such clicks. Clamping the other side of the capacitor to the ground (or whatever DC bias is normally present) before stopping the tone would remove the disturbance completely. ___________________________________________________________________ Get the Internet just the way you want it.
