ODBC requires sql*net! Good luck.

The application/driver architecture is:

                                    Application
                                         |
                                 ODBC Driver manager
                                     (ODBC.DLL)
                                         |
                                    Oracle7 Driver
                                     (SQORA71.DLL)
                                         |
                                       OCI layer
                                     (ORA71WIN.DLL)
                                         |
                                     SQL*Net Driver
                                         |
                                     Network Software
                  ( PCTCP, Novell Netware, Microsoft LAN Manager, etc,.)
                                         |
                                   SQL*Net Listener
                                         |
                                     Oracle7 RDBMS
