You see everybody ... reminding people to provide version information does work. And in this case saved both of us the trouble of listening to stuff about iSQL*Plus as it is not available with 8i.

I've never seen SQL*Plus across a browser. But you can telnet to the server and start a SQL*Plus session there.

There are certainly some security risks involved so have your SysAdmin look at the SUDO package if on UNIX.
