 Thanks for the replies. I wrote a script in SpiderMonkey to place a call,
and upon connct turn on vmd, play a "press 1" prompt to see if there is a
human, and then play some more prompts. If a voicemail beep is heard it
starts playing a different prompt.  I tested this with almost 300 phone
numbers, but I suspect a disproportionate number of these are cell phones.
Among the calls not answered by a human (nobody pressed 1), about 60% of the
calls failed to recognize a beep. My cell phone is T-Mobile, and it doesn't
detect the beep for it.
