Hi Everyone ,

We have a Database on Oracle 7.2.3 on Novel Netware 4.11 . we want to use its data.  
I have installed a Windows XP( because of IPX support) . now i want to connect to the oracle 7.2.3 database. Can I use Oracle 7 Client ? I have searched for it and did not find any download though the hole Internet . does anyone knows a place for it ?  
Can I use Toad 9.7 or 9.5 to connect to that database ? I have read some document about it in the Toad for oracle documents , but it says that Toad can connect to oracle higher than 7.3 version . Can anyone help me ?
