You need something similar to the Oracle SQL*Net product that works
on mainframes.  It lets you access mainframe SQL tables as if they
were Oracle SQL tables.  You then buy SQL*Net for your PCs and whatever
tools you want/need for your PCs.  Then you're off.  I advise you to
contact your local Oracle, Ingress, Informix, or Sybase reps and ask
them your question.  Or send mail to DKeller@Oracle.com.  He's
the only guy I know at Oracle but I've referred people to him before
and he hooks them up with the appropriate department within Oracle.  

Get your hands on one of the DBMS magazines.  They also have lots of
companies, articles and integrators who can help.

Good luck.
