Can someone fax me? (Preferably within Canada)

Hey guys, got a brand new printer/fax, but I am having a very confused time with it. We have dual lines within our phone line, so we have 2 numbers on one line. One is a phone line, one is a fax. So if someone calls fax, it should be a distinctive ring to it. Single ring is local calls, triple rings is long distance calls, and double rings should be faxes. I set my fax to accept double rings, and went to a local store to send my phone a fax. It accepted it no problems.
The problem is that we have to receive a fax from a company in Quebec to us in Toronto and I have no idea how a long distance fax would work like. It is extremely important we receive these faxes.
I found this website http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c00259105&lc=en&cc=us&product=2512008&rule=4965&dlc=
which sent a fax, but it used a triple ring which it should not have done. I think the problem is that it was automated and didn't know to send a fax to my fax line, rather than my home line, so it sent a long distance fax to my phone line, which was a triple ring and the fax did not recognize it.
I found another website, http://www.interpage.net/sub-wwwfax.html
but the problem I had with this one was it called a double ring which was fine, and the fax machine picked it up, but it was showing an error that said "receiving" and underneath it it said "out of area" and then nothing happened for a good 5 minutes so I cancelled it (phone had those weird fax signals).
So I am hoping there is someone living in Canada, preferably quebec or anywhere that is long distance from Toronto, could send me a fax? We'll talk over PM about time you would send it.
If I could do this myself, I totally would. But I don't know anyone long distance with a fax machine to help me out. I just need one test to make sure long distance faxes are working.
Thanks guys!

Its only 2 hours away though so I don't know if that's far enough away for what you want.
EDIT: London is considered long distance though, so it should work.
