I thank Jim and Clark for their responses. I've been playing with the problem (while trying to get other things done!) for a few more hours. Here are my experiences in relation to their suggestions:

Unless there's a way of making an OS 9 machine act like an OS X machine and have two TCP/IP ports active at once. >If your network is based on a switch or hub, you'll be fine. I'm not clear what difference that would make, since the ethernet connection (using a crossover cable) works fine when the higher-level protocols are set right. >I'll assume this is the case.

Unfortunately, the only way to get a connection is with TCP/IP set to the ethernet card on the OS 9 machine and with TCP/IP active on the ethernet port on the OS X machine. In fact, I can even have Apple Talk inactive on OS X and set to anothe port on OS 9, and I can still connect using the Chooser's AppleShare icon! I have not, BTW, been able to see the OS 9 machine FROM the OS X machine. (I do have File Sharing turned on in OS 9 and one of my volumes has sharing permissions set.) It doesn't show up in the list of servers under the Network item in the sidebar. Maybe there's something else I need to be doing about this.

Actually, using the Network Browser, I had to have both TCP/IP and AppleTalk active at both ends of the ethernet connection in order to be able to see the OS X server, even though I could just use TCP/IP when using the Chooser.
