I used a 8052 MCU (24MHz crystal) and a 8 bits R-2R DAC to generate DTMF tones.The sampling frequency is 5kHz. The output is then input to a 2nd order LP filter. The telephone line seems to not recognize my tone. Is the order of filter enough or not?
I'm going to paint my house a greeny-blue color. How much paint do I need to buy?
Or in other words, tell us enough to answer your question, and maybe someone will be able to help.
I would expect that nice sine waves fed to an 8-bit DAC with a sufficient sampling rate is more than good enough. Have you looked at your telephone line on an oscilloscope and compared your DTMF tones to what comes out of a regular telephone?

Apparently there is a bug in your generator. There is absolutely no necessity to generate nice and clean DTMF waves other then for the regulatory compliance.
