 Works fine for me, from a brief test. I can't spot any references in the manual as to connections from 8i clients being disallowed, as they are from v7 clients as of one of the Oracle 9i patchsets. (Or is the the other way around?)

 For a definitive answer before basing any business decisions on this, ask Oracle Support, of course.
