You didn't say if you were looking for a terminal with that capability
but in case you are I see a chance to plug for my favorite:
I've always found, in the end the regular xterm is more feature rich
than you can imagine and all other terminal emulators use a subset of
what xterm is capable of.
That statement might be inaccurate since I haven't researched every
terminal emulator... but in practice... with kde xfce gnome fluxbox,
blackbox and few I've forgotten the name of... xterm was always
better.
Concerning blinking
>From xterm man page:
-bc turn on text cursor blinking. This overrides the cursorBlink
resource.
-bcf milliseconds
set the amount of time text cursor is off when blinking via the curso-
rOffTime resource.
-bcn milliseconds
set the amount of time text cursor is on when blinking via the curso-
rOffTime resource.
