First, I should point out that I hold Oracle and the Three Initial Corporation
(RSI?) behind it in pretty low esteem.  They're customer support is about the
worse I've seen, which is compounded by the preponderance of bugs in their
software.

As for getting information between mainframe and UNIX machine there are
essentially two ways.  One, is that you can get TCP/IP for your IBM
and write network utilities based on TCP.  The second is to use an
IBM based network product that talks IBM-ese to the IBM.  An example
of this is the SunLink products soon to be unleased on the public.
