Oracle has production versions of SQL*Net for Windows NT. Windows95 support is still on beta. Intersolve has not taken over Oracle SQL*Net. You'll have to call your salesperson since there are different versions and flavors(tcp,named pipes) available..

Intersolv does provide 32bit Oracle ODBC drivers though. Generally speaking, you'll need a 32bit ODBC driver AND 32bit SQL*Net.
