    <title>Description</title>

    <para>The programs blink(1) and blinkd(8) help you to count or to
      monitor things like incoming calls on your voice box or incoming
      faxes.  E.g. they blink Scroll-Lock &led; for incoming voice
      calls and Num-Lock &led; for incoming faxes.  Normally, all
      three &led;s (Num-Lock, Caps-Lock, and Scroll-Lock) are handled.
      The blink client will ask the blinkd server to blink the
      specified &led; with the given rate.</para>
