The 12 seconds correspond to the time from "Dial and starting  
transfer..." to "Connection established".
capi4hylafax must have completed the initial fax negotiation when it  
reports "Connection established" since it immediately knows StationID  
and other parameters. After the phone line is connected it would take  
the fax stations some seconds to negotiate connection speed, resolution  
etc. and exchange their station IDs I think the connection time you  
will get charged for starts immediately or at most a few seconds after  
"Dial and starting transfer...".

If you have messages like
kernel: kcapi: appl 1 up
kernel: kcapi: appl 1 down
in /var/log/messages, you can compare the time stamps in the job's  
logfile with these messages.
With isdnlog you may be able to see more details about the ISDN  
connection like CONNECT and HANGUP time.

I don't know what your ISDN card (or the telco) reports if the  
connected station hangs up. Maybe capi4hylafax was waiting for  
something and the remote machine hung up first. (Though I would not  
expect a "User busy" message in this case.)

isdnlog might show some useful information.
