I have a Emachine EL1200-05w. The modem went up in

You're using dial-up internet? That's what that modem is for. The computer also has an Ethernet port, on the back of the computer.

You have a small width computer case. Takes a low profile network card.

From specifications of eMachines Support, it looks like you just have
one - PCI-Express x1 slot, that is open. (Unused)

http://support.gateway.com/emachines/emac/EL1200/EL1200sp2.shtml

A PCI-Express x1 slot is small in length. It has 36 contact pins. 18 on each side.

(Not to be confused with a PCI-Express x16 slot. This slot is long, and has 164 contact pins. 82 on each side. Used for graphics cards only)

If this is so, you need a dial-up modem adapter card, that will fit a PCI-Express x1 slot, and is a low profile card.
(Low profile in height)

That would be the second card down listed on the above page. The Model 3035.

If my information is incorrect, and you have an open available PCI slot,
(White in color. 124 contact pins. 62 on each side), you need the first one listed,
Model 3030

These are the places that carry them,

NOT FINDING THE PORT FOR MY MODEM

You should be able to get one at any computer store, big box store, staples, even some other supermarkets, radio shack.

so long as you get a pci express one as indicated in your question the actual brand would not matter.

It would come with a driver CD and windows may even find it itself.
