Hi Charlie,

as far as I know hylafax itself does not support this feature but
you could create a little script, that changes the config-file
and restarts the hylafax server, controlled by cron:
create a config.ttyS??.night with a line RingsBeforeAnswer: 1 
and a config.ttyS??.day with a line RingsBeforeAnswer: 6

e.g.: night.sh
cd /etc/hylafax
cp config.ttyS??.night config.ttyS??
/etc/init.d/hylafax restart

e.g. day.sh
cd /etc/hylafax
cp config.ttyS??.day config.ttyS??
/etc/init.d/hylafax restart


hope that helps
matthias
