asterisk users - Dec 2004 - Can Asterisk handle calls that get picked up by answering machines?

Just wondering because right now I can have it call my phone and play a message,
but if I dont answer it eventually goes to voice mail.  It always leaves a
voicemail and when I listen to it its always the last few seconds of my message
that I had Asterisk play.  How do I get Asterisk to pause and wait to playback
*IF* its an answering machine or voicemail?

You can hack the record application to wait for silence.

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?
