Some PBX implement line hunting that way. So, you need to Answer before 
you do anything else. Otherwise the PSTN switch will cheerfully go on 
its merry way while you're scrambling to route the call.

Make sure you configure your zaptel signaling correctly. If you have 
loopstart (fxs_ls) then the best solution is use busydetect. On my 
loopstart line, it will always hangup in <4s if the other party hangs 
up. Of course, in my loopstart setup I'll still get the occasional blank 
voicemail if the other party hung up just as asterisk goes to voicemail. 
But, that's rather normal for most voicemail system.
