My site has this requirement to allow external access to our
internal Oracle servers.  From my knowledge, Oracle do uses
UDP which my firewall disallowed.

Is there a way to make clients or the server to use only TCP only.

Also, I am also interested in what type of authentication system
Oracle has.  Plain-text, encrypted password.  Is it IP address-based 
authentication ?

Any info or pointers to info will be appreciated.  Info on other
RDMS systems like Sybase will also be welcomed.
