David, You can detect the tones directly with the micro controller. Just feed them via an op-amp comparator. I use the PCD3312 as the generator and 75T203 as the single ended receiver. I have had four versions of dialler based on this chip set approved for Telepermit in New Zealand and meet approvals for Australia also. I may be able to fish out the Ademco format for you.
