One other small point, assuming I can get the client to instead install and
run the apps on a Windows box, will ADO.NET have any problems accessing
Oracle 9i tables running on a Linux box using the Microsoft .net managed
provider for Oracle? I am assuming not, but it won't be the first time that
I have seriously underestimated the issues involved in such a project.

Sorry for asking such dumb questions, but we are under a short timeframe to
respond to the client.
