Yes SQL*Net is available for Mac. I'm using SQL*Net for TCP/IP (works with Mac/TCP), but there are others available (for DecNet, AppleTalk ask an Oracle sales rep). Current version for me is 1.5 but with the new CDE-Tools, there may be a SQL*Net V2 version (not seen yet) There are also a SQL*Plus, SQL*Forms (not recommended IMHO), DataBrowser. ClearAccess also works with SQL*Net

Hope this helps
