Wondering how to set up fax recieve to recieve on a
phone line that has a dedicated ring for the fax of 2
short rings without answering the main phone line?

Windows XP does not support Distinctive Ring:

Distinctive Ring Is Not Supported by Windows 2000 Fax

Some third party hardware devices can provide a work-around:
