Not familiar with OBDC, but it would mean the clients should have a 32 bit as well as a 16 bit communications stack. Not sure if Windows can handle that, though I have been using 16 and 32 bit SQL*Net with TCP/IP.
Keep in mind that 16 bit stuff relies on win.ini, 32 bit on the registry to locate files and directories. These locations may be the same, but may also differ, making you changing the wrong configuration files.

HTH, good luck!
