I believe every version of Oracle comes with isql*plus, so sqlplus via your browser. If you only want sql*plus you can use isql*plus and don't need a client on the second box.
Other than that there is a new free product called sql developer which is only 26M (JDK 1.5 required)
The URL is

http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/htdocs/sqllic.html?http://download.oracle.com/otn/java/sqldeveloper/sqldeveloper-v1.0.0-no-jre.zip

or probably just
http://download.oracle.com/otn/java/sqldeveloper/sqldeveloper-v1.0.0-no-jre.zip

Obviously this doesn't come with all the message and language libraries of the full client ;)
