I think the cost is about $6000.  I'm not sure if their pricing is based on
processor size or not.

There should be Oracle offices in most major cities.  My local contact in
Dallas is at (972) 422-4300.  They should be able to point you in the right
direction.

This product is a gateway, which allows you to run SQL commands on a UNIX
system and access either DB2 tables or plain AS/400 files (PF's or LF's).
We use TCP/IP for in interface.  Works great, I never have problems with it.  

Their home page is at www.oracle.com
