There is no such manual because SQLNET 2.X is based on TNS ( Transparent Network Substrate ) the protocol on the 5th layer of ISO-OSI and don't handle directly with low level Protocols such PPP or slip which are needed for dial-up networking.
Anyway, there is no reason why symmetrical replications over dial-up
network should not work.
There are some issues with the initializations, timeouts, bandwidth,
etc ... , but not on oracle side ( except possible logical conflicts
).
