We have a Unix machine that is still running version 6 binaries with net v1 which manages to talk to a 7.3 database. The solution is not very elegant but it does work.

Net 1 and 2 can be run at the same time - we use both on 7.1.6 databases - but 7.3 has dropped any support for Net 1. To allow clients that can only use Net 1 to connect to the 7.3 instance, we retained a 7.1.6 instance which only contained synonyms. The synonyms used database links to 7.3 which meant that old tools could connect to the latest database version. It works but I'll be glad when it's gone.

Hope it helps
