[SOLVED] PCI Fax modem -- does it fit my Mobo?

[shmu26]

I want to buy this PCI fax modem
https://www.amazon.com/Cablecc-Inte...keywords=fax+modem+pci&qid=1580912889&sr=8-19
This is my Mobo
https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/B150M-K-D3/
Is it compatible?

For $8 more I could get this USB-connected fax modem instead

Advice is welcome.

If I understand my Mobo right, I have only one slot for PCI, so if that slot doesn't work, I can't use the device. (Maybe I can return it to Amazon?).
I have a USB outlet on the front of the case that doesn't work, and also a SATA connection that doesn't work right, so I don't totally trust this stuff.

That MB has only PCIe (express) slot(s) so no PCI device would fit in or work. USB is OK.

Isn't PCI the long slot, and PCIe is the two short slots?
Comparing the picture of the device to the picture of the Mobo, it looks like it would fit in the long slot.

According to https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/B150M-K-D3/specifications/
those are all PCIe slots and they are not interchangeable with PCI, mechanically or electrically.

• Expansion Slots
  1 x PCIe 3.0/2.0 x16 (x16 mode, gray)
  2 x PCIe 3.0/2.0 x1
