 I've done this a few times before under TCP/IP.

The first thing to remember about sqlnet is that it is bound to a protocol, not a method of implementing that protocol. In other words, if you've installed sqlnet for windows and chosen TCP/IP as you protocol (using winsock), sqlnet doesn't care whether winsock.dll calls a modem or a network card.

On your client PC, get your modem installed and working correctly with TCP/IP, and make sure you can dial the server in question. Once that is in place you should be able to fire up sqlnet for TCP/IP without problems - and therefore any applications which sit on top of it (we use sqlplus and PowerBuilder).

Your server just needs to be running the normal sqlnet listener process (and names server, if you use it).

Let me know if you need more info.
