One approach, the one I took, was to move every Open Transport-related
extension out of the Extensions Folder and move every OS 8.6 OT extension
in. Oh, and also the TCP/IP control panel (may not be necessary, but it
works). You should have the necessary files for this, if your disk is
anything like the 8.5 disk my Wallstreet PowerBook came with. It may be
"messy", but it works, at least for me.
In detail: here are the OS 9 files I moved out of the System Folder:
Apple Enet
AppleShare
File Sharing Extension
File Sharing Library
Open Transport
Open Transport ASLM Modules
OpenTpt Modem
OpenTpt Remote Access
OpenTpt Serial Arbitrator
TCP/IP
Time Synchronizer
URL Access
Here's what I put in the System Folder, from an 8.6 system:
Apple Enet
AppleShare
File Sharing Extension
File Sharing Library
Open Tpt AppleTalk Library
Open Tpt Internet Library
Open Transport Library
OpenTpt Modem
OpenTpt Remote Access
OpenTpt Serial Arbitrator
OpenTptAppleTalkLib
OpenTptInternetLib
OpenTransportLib
TCP/IP
Time Synchronizer
URL Access
