My very first experience with Linux was in probably 1993 or so. I ran a dial-up BBS with a Usenet feed and a friend UUCP'd me the first few floppies of slackware to try. I don't remember getting very far but I had used OS/9 earlier on my Coco 3, so the shell was pretty familiar.
For actual work, about a year later I started working for a dial-up ISP and my workstation was a Linux box connected via Serial PPP to a Sun pizzabox.
I've used Linux on and off as a Desktop over the years but always maintained at least one server. In my current jobs there is a mix of Linux and FreeBSD servers I run on a Linux based virtualization platform.
It was a Radio Shack 300 baud modem. A little googling seems to indicate is would likely have been a Tandy DCM-3 “Direct Connect” (as opposed to acoustic coupler) modem.
It was in-line between the wall and a phone so you would pick up the phone, dial the number, head the modem tone, press a red button on the top of the modem and hang up the phone.
Last year it was announced that several of the previously released (but long out of print) and all (or almost all) of the previously unreleased in the US would be parceled out to a few different companies. AnimEigo got the rights to Macross 2 Lovers Again and will kickstart the release this summer.
I'm assuming it will be as filled with extras as their usual releases.
