Sarah You will need a 9i client on each machine - this is an Oracle requirement. This may vary from territory to territory but at least in the UK Oracle base pricing on the CPU power of your server, not on the number of clients - effectively the client is a free piece of software. Oracle used to audit database useage annually to set a fee - even then I think you could have as many clients as you wanted.
As far as I know - ODBC/DAO etc won't work with Oracle without the Oracle client providing part of the transport layer - you certainly need it for spatial.
