Go back to your Bach then.

Oh yea. There are tons of options for plain old telephones (POTs). Just search for "phone ringer light" to make all your dreams come true. This one should even fit your government office decor. http://www.sjtelecommunications.com/sut-21b-03.htm…

Not with most office phone systems, no. They would have to be an accessory made by the same people who make the phone. Unless you have an ancient, analog phone system, in which case they're everywhere.

If it's just a shell script, you can name it with a .command suffix to make it double-click-able in the finder too.

Depending on the topic of the article and the opinion expressed in a comment, anonymity or at least rock-solid pseudonymity are the only things protecting some commenters from participating without a direct threat to their safety and security in the real world.
