[Asterisk-Users] Can Asterisk handle calls that get picked upby answering machines?

[Gabriel Afana]

How do those telemarketers do it?  I come home and I got messages on my
answerings machine that are recordings....of course thats not what I want to
do...but its handing answerings machines is something possible.  Does
Asterisk not have any feature or tool or anything for this?
