Again I am not a UNIX hacker so bear with me... I am a student at George Mason Univ. and I am taking a C++ class. I need to be able to: 1. Have a system (FreeBSD?) that could possibly connect with an UNIX system called OSF1 (they say it runs a version called Berkley?) 2. The system needs to have an application (I think they call it VI) where I can create, edit and compile C++ programs. 3. If I can connect to the school UNIX system is it through dialup using my ISP? (Erols by the way) My class just recently started and I am getting desperate here. PLEASE HELP ME!!! Thank you for your time, Chris Lopez
