It is in the hylafax-config man page. If you don't find it explained 
there, you may need to upgrade your version of HylaFAX as it appeared in 
version 4.1.4.

If you set your modem to not report normal RING but only the DRON/DROF, 
HylaFAX will catch the DRON=1* and wouldn't recognize the other DRON 
values. It will thus only answer on DRON=1*. (but you really need to turn 
off RING reporting as those will be recognized as RING and HylaFAX will 
answer all lines)
