I think I'm misunderstanding your questin, but if not - it is quite simple to install both 16 and 32 bit sql*net on teh same box. Oracle homes are different (orawin & orant), 32 bit uses registry entires, 16 bit uses oracle.ini (pointed to by win.ini, setting [oracle]<cr>ora_config = <oracle ini location>). If you keep default they'll use different tnsnames.ora files, but you can get around that by setting tns_admin parameter (in oracle.ini or registry, or both) to point to one network\admin directory.

If I've totally misunderstood your questino or intent, let me know!
