You won't be able to connect with SQL*NETV1 on OS/2 if your don't have sqlnet V1 on your server. If it is running, you should be able to connect with a V1 connect string like:
t:machine.domain.com:ORCL

Where the connect string is of the form: protocol_id:machine:instance_sid

Other options: install SQL*NETV2 on client if available.

Though you didn't ask here's my opinion: You should NOT buy from anyone developing and marketing products based on DE-SUPPORTED drivers or software. Oracle has said (written) that SQL*NET V1 is not supported except as a migration path from Oracle 6 to Oracle 7.

     Hello Everybody,

advice. My company is
     giving a demo of their product and we need to
connect a client to a
     server via SQL*NET. Not hard I here you say.
Well, the problem is that

ORACLE 7.0.16.6 with
     SQL*NET V2 whilst the Client has SQL*NET V1.1

for OS2. As I have only
