Silly of me - I was thinking of the 9iAS install which needs the TCP/IP subsystem. (And, more recently, should have DNS to support FQDNs.)

Haven't tried it yet - can you use iSQLPLUS or any of the other OHS-based capabilities in standalone without the TCP subsystem?

I've got a spare full-height tower here if anyone wants to try Daniel's exercise plan. I've found that the tower & the plan is incompatible with my middle-tier (or is that middle-tyre). I'm still struggling with 50 reps using a pair of light-weight clients.
