Unfortunately that cursor style is not available by using CSS, you may 
be able to find it at http://cometcurors.com .  For more info on the 
styles that are available via CSS check out this brief tutorial 
http://pageresource.com/dhtml/csstut10.htm

Note in IE 6 (and possible NS 6)  you MAY be able to create an image of 
the box then another image of the box, only in white (so it won't show 
against the background) convert them to a . cur format  (use a program 
like IconForge http://www.cursorarts.com/ca_if.html ) then create a 
class  .blinkerbox {cursor : url("darkbox.cur");} then another 
.blinkerblank {cursor : url("blankbox.cur");} then use javascript to 
switch back and forth between the 2 classes  to create the blink
