  We use Logitech's compiler on PC's attached to a LAN. This is a TCP/IP
  based LAN, where the PC's run SUN's PC-NFS and the student's files are
  maintained on a UNIX server (which means that students can log in from
  home and edit, even if they can't compile on the server). The NFS
  device driver uses too much memory to allow the use of the "Point"
  editor, but otherwise the students are quite happy with this setup.
  We have them use the MKS "vi" editor on the PC. On our campus, Novell
  LANS are confined to the administration, so we academics have no
  experience with them. Guess that what is best depends on your
  circumstances.
