Assuming your client is a PC running Windows, ODBC hides the SQL*NET API from your client database software. Underneath the ODBC driver you still have Oracle SQL*NET for Windows (the same is true for your Sybase connection although I don't use Sybase). So what you need on your Oracle box in Unix is just SQL*NET TCP/IP and your client needs SQL*NET windows and the ODBC for Oracle driver (and whatever similar product Sybase clients need).
