I am running windows xp pro, and have a us robotics fax
modem...I remember at one point that my computer could
automatically distinguish between an incoming voice call
and an incoming data call(ie fax). for some reason it no
longer does this. Is there some way to set this up?

No operating system based on the NT kernel has ever supported Distinctive
Ring.
The alternative is to install an external switching device to your phone
line. You can find some here:
