I've got an Oracle database running on a windows machine. It's also
running coldfusion, making it a very ugly sight to see indeed.

But I digress. I have a few users who would like command line interfaces
to Oracle -- SQL*Plus.  Now:  My problem is that I haven't found many
programs that will allow you to connect like this from afar. They have no
shell on the system, although I could add openSSH for windows on there
(but some terminal handling is poor, i.e. backspace, etc) but if possible,
I'dl ike a linux version of SQL*Plus that I can set up to connect to it
from say, another server.  So far, the only way I know how to get a
command line interface to Oracle is to download the entire 600 MB install
file for oracle and install it. I'd rather not do this, so if you know of
a linux variant of SQL*Plus that allows me to connect, it would be swell
if you told me.
