So long as you are able to implement an IP listener on the VAX (you most definitely can on Netware) you should have no problem accessing the data on either database server. You will need the appropriate tools for the operating system you intend to access Oracle from (windows/dos/AIX/Vax, etc). You will also need to install IP and Oracle's Sql*Net product with the IP adapter on your clients. While you could also use SQL*Net with the SPX adapter for Netware, i'd reccomend going strictly with IP.

Best of luck!
