I am using forms 4.5.x over a SLIP/PPP connection with SQL*NET and 288 modems. It is ok. Kind of slow depending on the query, number of tables etc. We used alot of stored proc and packages that executed on the server  side, that way we are only passing VARS acrossd the network one-way and the solutions to the queries, etc. the other.

I am not sure if this will help but if you are planning to distribute SQL*NET and the Forms runtime files you will most likly run into problems unless you use Oracles installer. I have created an installer that will deploy runtime forms, graphics etc. but I am unable to get SQL*NET to create a winsock unless I use the Oracle installer.

Good luck
