- There is a program out there called RingDetect v1.09 by Tomi Blinnikka. It
- does exactly what you ask and more:
-
- -----Snarfed from RingDetect.Doc-----
-
- WHAT DOES IT DO?
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- This program tells you when your phone is ringing. You may specify a
- program for it to run when the phone rings. As extra options, it can bring
- the screen it was opened on to the front, display a beep and of course
- all options can be disabled.
-
- -----EndSnarf-----
-
- If anyone wants a copy, send me EMail and I'll uuencode it and mail it to
- you.
