If your Oracle Server runs on UNIX, then I belive you are out of luck, because you can't relink the kernel with SQL*Net ver.1. On the other hand, if your server is on NT (and I belive same goes also for Netware, don't know about other OS) then it is possible to install SQL*Net ver.1 listener from any pre-7.3 distribution and it should work.

I myself had 7.2 server on NT with both SQL*Net ver.1 and 2. When I upgraded it to 7.3 I didn't uninstall SQL*Net ver.1 and so I still have both versions of SQL*Net listeners and can connect with both ver.1 and ver.2 SQL*Net clients.

Note however that 7.3 and SQL*Net ver.1 combination is not supported by Oracle corp.
