This is obvoiusly a problem with all the computers and headsets?
Has anyone thought about having some sort of external ringer to be able to hear incoming call even the headset is connected.
I am making VoIP handsets using Nokia HSU-3 Privacy Headsets and they have magnetic relay on the hook base. It may be possible to just answer the call by lifting the headset?

My gadgets:
NEC Versa S3200 Laptop running Linux Mint 9 and Win XP

3x I-mate Jasjam, one running WM6.1 and others WM5.1, all working with VF and Telecom XT
Canon Powershot SX120 Digital camera
Various old phones like Nokia 6310, Nokia 6610 and ancient Nokia 1610, all with carkits.
Greenspeed Gto recumbent trike with Rohloff 14 speed Speedhub, altogether 42 speed.
No TV, no microwave and no washing machine. ( Not enough space in my van for those) I live a mobile lifestyle, call me nomad if you wish but gypsy I am not.
Have started my epic journey from Bluff to Cape Reinga on my recumbent trike supported with my van so I can carry all my gadgets with me and sleep in a comfy bed.

External USB ringer.
That maybe the answer but it also needs some software drivers. Maybe it already exists? Google search did not come up with answers.
Other way may be adapter between headphone output and headset plug but this would be more difficult to design as any music or sound  from the headphone output may trigger the alarm.
