get data from mainframe files, ADA

Anyone know of a cheap way to get data form a mainframe into ORACLE.

All options will be considered (as long as it's cheap). We are doing a proof-of-concept project and do not have the $ right now.

The best (and cheapest) we've come up with is

1. cron calls FTP to move the data
2. PERL transposes data (if need be)
3. SQL*Load data in.

The next best thing we came up with was something like an EDA/SQL gateway.

I'm open to just about anything.

TIA, JB
