You might consider upgrading to 9.2.2 using OS 9 Helper:

Or upgrading to OS X using XPostFacto 4.0:

If you're using the OEM 9600 CPU you can only run OS X up to 10.2.8, but if you have a G3 or G4 CPU upgrade you can install up to 10.4.11 without much hassle (if you have enough RAM, and the 9600 supports 1.5GB). You can also install Leopard 10.5.8 with a little hassle, which is right up your alley:

As for networking OS 9 & OS X, you could Google OS9 OSX and see:
