12 seconds isn't really very long to, detect dial tone, dial the number,
wait for a few rings, recognize fax calling tone, generate answer tone,
detect calling carrier, and generate answering carrier, even if it is
a dedicated fax line.

If you don't have a timeout like this, you may have some sort of modem
control problem.

It will have a rather long wait on any PABX manufactured in the last 
decade or so, as nearly all of them do not generate a secondary dial
tone, and do not require a delay.
