... no differences in Oracle server side (except data file naming). Differences in MMI, ie: if you used block mode terminals, and switch to windows, you will see a big change in the way users work (and a big smile).

Depends on the size of the MVS box & the size/make of the UNIX box. Also depends on on the net, whether you used a Gate to access MVS, etc. In general, I would guess that the UNIX access - being (usually) more straight-forward - would be faster.
