THE CHEAP WAY:  Hang up and let hylafax answer when the fax caller calls back 
1 or 2 minutes later.

BETTER WAY: Subscribe to distinctive ring and have the fax answer its 
distinctive ring number in 1 or 2 rings.

BETTER WAY:  Switch hylafax to "send-only" mode during the day and answer fax 
calls manually during this time.  See man faxanswer.  Set RingsBeforeAnswer 
to  0  to make hylafax send-only.
