Actually, we had this same situation here on our Netware platform, at my company. Oracle 7.2 was the last version under Netware that was able to support the SQL*NET V1 AND V2 modules. I was careful to upgrade all our V1 apps to version 2 before I upgraded to Oracle 8 on a sun platform under Solaris.

Version 7.3 dropped the sqlnet v1 entirely, so we were halted at 7.2 until we could get everything converted. I figured we might as well get a real operating system at the same time. 8-)
