One way to do this (not that I've actually implemented it) is to configure
your "getty" program to simply not pick up the phone during these hours.
(the modem must be set to not Auto-answer) From the man pages for mgetty
1.1.18:
FILES
.
.
.
/etc/nologin.ttyxx
controls whether mgetty should pick up the phone
upon incoming calls. If the file exists, calls are
completely ignored. You can use this, for example,
to stop mgetty during day time, and let it pick up
at night only, by creating and removing /etc/nolo-
gin.ttyxx via the cron program at the appropriate
time.
