Well I don't think the underscore is the problem. In our DB we have lots of tables and almost every tablename contains an underscore. Most likely the tool you created the table with created a case sensitive tablename.
Try:

select table_name from user_tables;

If your table shows up with lower case letters in the name, you have to put the table name in quotes like this:

select * from "RMDD_Time";

Another cause of the problem may be simply a missing grant.

Hope that helps,
