We run Oracle in a client/server environment that uses tcp/ip exclusively. 
The Oracle libraries handle the network connection, so all you do is link
your application to them, and pass them the two_task data at runtime.
Oracle creates a shadow process on the server that listens to your
application and passes data to/from the database.
