I used response file for 8.1.6 on Solaris 2.6 with xterm from a windows machine.
Works great!

1. Create home dir and get .profile etc and set environment
2. Remote mount CD
3. Install Client with .rsp
4. Scripted FTP : tnsnames.ora
5. Test connection

All through a sequence of commands. No mouse clicking. Now going to machine. No taking out putting in CDs...
