I needed an automated SIP client, and preferably one with media (audio)
support as well. Couldn't find one that was effective or easy to set up. So I
came up with writing a wrapper to X-Lite and eyeBeam SIP clients through
GUI automation. You can automate this by executing a sequence of
commands with the script below.
The script below does require you to install the AutoItX automation library to
work. Or re-write in C++ or AutoIt script to make into standalone executable.
I'm providing this "as is", with no support.

ibeambot.AutoItSetOption "MouseCoordMode", 0

ibeambot.WinActivate "eyeBeam", ""
