32bit applications do not need to use SQLNET, they can use the local
connect string of '2:' (no quotes). 32bit apps can use SQLNET if
you want them to for consistency.
16bit apps must connect using sqlnet. So for this to work you have
to first install the sqlnet server(listener) for NT, then the 16bit
sqlnet client for the 16bit apps.
If you don't give a connect string, 2: is used as the default...
