No, but (and forgive me for asking) why does that matter?

Is sqlnet tunneling important for security reasons, or important
for connectivity?  I'm able to telnet to the box straight away.

I figured that, once VPN was connected, I'd be able to run whatever
applications I wanted locally.  After not being able to get
any Oracle client to connect, i wondered if VPN had the capability
to transmit anything but the "lowest" level of tcp/ip protocols.
