If you can ping the server you should be able to use SQL*Net across the Internet. The only problem will be with a firewall. Typically SQL*Net likes to use port 1521. I would also recommend using a fixed IP address in your listener.ora. You'll have to check with the network gurus at both ends if you can access that port.
