One approach to networked database access without SQL*Net is to use oratcl (tcl + OCI interface) and tcl-DP (networked TCL commands). These are both free, unrestricted (NON-GPL) pieces of software. All are available for unix, and I believe a version of tcl-DP just became available for windows-nt.
See comp.lang.tcl for more details.
See ftp:harbor.ecn.purdue.edu /pub/tcl (?) for the source.
Another approach is to roll your own program to run SQL or PLSQL commands via RPC.
Heck, you could even put sqlplus scott/tiger in inetd.conf.
