This is a video-added re-release of my interview with Rob Swindell. Rob is the author and sysop of the MS-DOS and telnet versions of the Synchronet BBS.  He joined the show to discuss the genesis of the BBS, running his own BBS company, and the journey to an open source Internet version of Synchronet.
