    I am working on an RFP where we want to access an Oracle db on UNIX via
    TCP/IP using the RdbAccess product. From previous notes, it appears
    that I need SQL*Net also on the node where Oracle is.  
    
    Does this mean that I need to have Oracle on the VMS node also?  If not, 
    how can I price SQL*Net, since we don't sell Oracle products anymore?
    
    How does the customer's requirement of TCP/IP affect the solution?
    
    Is this doable?  My concerns are with the networking products, where I
    need Oracle and SQL*Net.
    
    Thanks for any help,
    Patti

    It can be done.  See the corresponding note and replys in the RdbAccess
    for Oracle to see the details.
