Tim,
two options as far as I know:
- Install the network on OS/2's side; Novell, NETBIOS (LAN Server), TCP/IP etc. are accompanied with VDD's for DOS-boxes (in which Windows runs), so it appears to those program as if they had direct access to the net; SQL*NET should work out of the box then.
- Use Oracle's VDD (virtual device driver) which functions as a router, either to the net or to the OS/2-Oracle-database on the *same* local machine.
In case you are using Forms 3.x then you could do everything (including CASE) natively in OS/2 with the appropriate OS/2-software. We are using it with this setup (OS/2-DB, OS/2-CASE and OS/2-Oracle-tools) with databases locally or remotely (on Unix servers).
