Does anyone know of an application/cdev/INIT/DA/whatever which will either
inverse the menu bar or somehow flash the screen when the phone rings?  I
have this habit of programming or writing while listening to deafening
music through headphones, so I can't hear the phone ring.  I can see it
using a terminal emulation application, but the little "RING" messages
I don't see.  Something that possibly deaf people may use could be helpful.

I have two Macs networked side-by-side, so it doesn't have to run in the
background.  I sure would appreciate any ideas on how to get a visual
response to phone ringing that I could notice out of the corner of my eye.
I don't really want to write one; anything already available would be
best.  Thanks for any help.
