Bought a Bravo Sempron 12th March.
Tried connecting through dial-up modem. Nothing.
Looked in phone and modem options. No modems listed.

Help please!

have you loaded the drivers?

do you know how to get to Device Manager, (right click on my computer, left click properties, hardware, device manager) look at the list of items - any yellow ? or ! marks there means you need to load on the drivers

Did you fit a modem to this machine as our Bravo systems do not come with a Dial up Modem fitted as standard.

Thanks for that. Should it still have a phone socket on the back panel?

No it should not. If it had a modem the phone socket would be at the bottom of the PC tower in the last expansion slot.
If you are plugging in to the socket that is next to the USB ports towards the top of the PC around all the other connectors such as audio and PS2 this is a RJ45 LAN Port for network connections.

I also have just bought myself a Bravo Hawk 3000 Pro but did not twig until I set it up that it did not carry a dial-up modem. I have tried to move the card from my old Novatech 0386T Performer PC but there is no compatible slot. The modem card is not identifiable but it is about 2½" wide x 3" long and has two connecting blades on one half of a long edge. A new modem is required I guess?

The slot is 2.5"x3"? Most modems will use the standard PCI interface, however there are exceptions. We sell the basic 56k PCI modem for £9.40 inc VAT

The item you have described is known as a Modem Riser. It comes in either AMR or CNR format and is compatible only with mainboards that support either AMR or CNR and are also made by the same company that makes the current board you have.

For example if you have an ECS mainboard with a CNR riser. You can only use that CNR card in Mainboards made by ECS and have a CNR slot. You cannot for example take that card and put it in an MSI board that has a CNR slot. You would require a card made by MSI. This is because the AMR or CNR is bascially an onboard device and the card needs to be made to work with how the mainboard manufacturer designed there board. There may also be different version of the card which means some boards work with one and some work with another.
Basically in short the card is not really transferable and so as already stated if you require a modem you will need to purchase a PCI modem.
