No problem! Refer to:

Also note that not all softphone (or even hardphones) have auto-answer 
capability. The two free softphones that do have this feature, are the
IAXphone from Steven Sokol, and the DIAX softphone (whose new version
was just recently announced on this mailing list).

The X-lite SIP softphone has mention of it, but it appears this is a
feature that is reserved for the "pay-for" version.

I explain it fairly much in the WhoIsIt-1.1.tar.gz tarball you can
download from the Wiki.

It takes a bit of glue, but I've got it working fairly reliably at my
site, announcing who incoming calls are from via the softphones
scattered about the house on PC's. You can adapt the code to do other
kinds of generated announcements, of course.
