Re: flexfax: Disabling answer with faxgetty

FAXCONFIG(8C)                                       FAXCONFIG(8C)


NAME
       faxconfig   -  dynamically  change  HylaFAX  configuration
       parameters

SYNOPSIS
       /usr/local/sbin/faxconfig [ -q queue-dir ] [ -m modem ]  [
       parameter value  ... ]


and the config option would be "RingsBeforeAnswer"

I've never tried this combination before, but I would suspect it to
work.  Just use a cronjob to set RingsBeforeAnswer to 0 (means never
answer) or 1 (or something else for more rings),
