The sendfax -a option (and the complementary server-side support for it) 
in HylaFAX+ supports a "TimeOfDay" feature that you're wanting.

 http://hylafax.sourceforge.net/man/sendfax.php

*-a*/ time/
   Schedule transmission up to one year in advance at the indicated
   /time/. /Time / is specified in the format: ``HH:MM [AM|PM] | now [+
   N /period / | /month / DD | /dayofweek / ] [ @ /timeofday/ ]'' where
   /month / can be Jan(uary), Feb(ruary), Mar(ch), Apr(il), May,
   Jun(e), Jul(y), Aug(ust), Sep(tember), Oct(ober), Nov(ember), or
   Dec(ember); /period / can be minute(s), hour(s), day(s), week(s), or
   month(s); /dayofweek / can be Mon(day), Tue(sday), Wed(nesday),
   Thu(rsday), Fri(day), Sat(urday), Sun(day); e.g. ``now + 30
   minutes'' to schedule transmission 30 minutes in the future.
   Trailing information in the /time / field (such as YYYY) is ignored.
   By default, /sendfax/ schedules facsimile for immediate delivery.
   Time should be given in the user's local time. Conversely, the
   /timeofday/ field restricts the job from sending at various times
   relative to the server. The syntax for /timeofday/ is identical to
   the *TimeOfDay* syntax found in /hylafax-config
   <http://hylafax.sourceforge.net/man/hylafax-config.php>/(5F).

Thanks,

Lee.
