Can someone please provide some information regarding
SQL*NET for ORACLE 6.

Firstly, what transports can SQL*NET run over.

i.e. X.25, Ethernet, Token Ring.

Also can it handle one or more transports concurrently ?

For example a system which is part of a TCP/IP over Ethernet
LAN and an X.25 WAN.

Will it allow a process on system-A to have a table(s)
open on system-A and system-B simultaneously ?

Can the remote table(s) be open for update ?

Finally, someone mentioned that it required NFS, is this true ?

Also, any other comments concerning this product would be
appreciated.

Regards
