If you were using TCP/IP one possibility is to use PPP or SLIP to connect over serial port (modem).
SQL*Net does not care whether the connection is established using hard wired connections or PPP/SLIP. Of course you will notice the difference in connection speed if you are using slow modem.

PPP/SLIP software is operating system dependend. OS/2 Warp has these included in the standard package. Windows XX does not include these, you have to buy them separately. Don't know about unixes.
