I would give app_followme [1] a shot.  It requires the callee to hit
"1" to connect.  That way, an answering machine would never make it
through... unless the callee puts the tone for a "1" in his voicemail
greeting. :-)

You might also consider AMD [2] (answering machine detection), but I
don't know much about it.
