sql*net 1.x and 2.x can run in parallel. The settings can be this:

1. intall sql*net 2.x to your rdbms server (sql*net 1.x is running)
2. start up both sql*net 1.x and sql*net 2.x listener, such as in unix box, 2.1. add port '1525' to '/etc/services' for sql*net 1.x 2.2. add port '1521' to '/etc/services' for sql*net 2.x 2.3. start up 'orasrv' and 'tnsctl' processes 2.4. modify 'tnsnames.ora' for both sql*net 1.x and 2.x
3. your client can run sql*net 1.x or sql*net 2.x
