I haven't done this myself, but I don't think it's even a SQL*Net configuration question. The physical connection should be handled at the network layer (TCP, IPX), not the application layer (SQL*Net). If it's tcp/ip, you need to run either PPP (point to point protocol) or SLIP (serial line IP). As far as SQL*Net's concerned, it's just a plan old TCP/IP connection.
