If Windows NT is your client machine, then the Visigenic driver is available from Microsoft (on their Web site, and in their Access 95 and Visual Basic 4.0 products).  

Unfortunately, this driver does NOT work with Windows 95 clients, due to differences in the SQL*Net DLL calling sequences defined by Oracle Corp.  

There is a "hack" described that SOME people have been able to make work, and others have NOT, that can make this driver work on Windows 95 by using the Windows NT DLL's for SQL*Net.  

For about $100 per seat, you can get drivers from Intersolv or OpenLink that DO work with Windows 95 clients.
