How analagous is Personal Oracle 7.1 to the other Oracles

Hi!
I have a client who has asked me to look into taking their established MS Access program and linking it to an Oracle backend (they like the front end interface and want to keep it). I set up Personal Oracle 7 (PO7) on a Windows for Workgroups 3.11 machine, exported some tables from Access into Oracle, then reattached these tables to the Access program. After fighting with the combination for a while, I began to wonder how analagous PO7 is to other Oracle versions. The client is using an Oracle database on a UNIX box, and running it across a WAN. My PO7 seems to be limited to the local (Intel) computer. Also, it seems like Oracle requires Oracle client/server software to share it across a network, you can't just reach across the network and connect? I don't know much about Oracle, but PO7 seems to be limited in features in comparison to other database products (i.e no triggers?), is it limited in comparison to "full blown" Oracle as well?
