TimeOfDay doesn't help you with that, as you are aware.  Maybe it 
should, but it doesn't.

For this part of your endeavor you need to make use of 'faxalter -a' 
and "killtime" and "time-to-send" parameters when you submit the job.

So if you submit a job at 6:30PM and don't want it to be sent between 
7PM and 8AM, then at 7PM you need to run 'faxalter' to change its 
time-to-send to be 8AM (and probably extend the killtime in the 
process).

The other option is to stop faxq at 7PM and then restart it at 8AM.  
That's a little more ugly, though.
