There was a recent post, look at lists.digium.com for the archives, that 
detailed an 'auto-answer' script for the 79XX phones.  It basically 
telnets into the phone and presses the answer key!  It works, it might 
not be pretty, but it works.  You do have to be careful though, as you 
don't want this script to execute if you're currently doing anything on 
your phone - including talking to someone.
