Fortunately, the Oracle apps in question are going to be used by about 20 workstations on one internal LAN/WAN. And, as I tried to make clear in my original message, the Forms-based applications are not the only ones we want to deploy using the Terminal server technology. We have several other applications that users will be able to use (network or dial-in remote) via Terminal Server so we wanted to try and verify that it would be compatible with Oracle.
I'm not really gung-ho about using Terminal Server to host the Oracle software, but I'm not about to implement Terminal server (for the other applications) and set up OAS and 3-tier model for the Oracle stuff.
