I can't answer your question but our setup works. We use a Shiva LanRover ARA server which can pass TCP/IP. SQL*Net works fairly well over this setup. The only problem is that quiting SQL*Plus can sometimes hang my Mac requiring a restart. However, everything works fine until then. Performance is actually fairly good. I can sometimes approach 1/3 of the speed of the network.
