Whether you can use them both depends on your local network. The key is
to be able to connect to your OS X machine using Appletalk instead of
TCP/IP. If your network is based on a switch or hub, you'll be fine.
I'll assume this is the case. In the OS X Network System Preference,
when you choose Configure, there is a tab headed AppleTalk. Click it and
then click the Make AppleTalk Active checkbox.
Click Apply Now. On the OS 9 machine, set the AppleTalk control panel to
Ethernet, set the TCP/IP control panel to remote access. You should be
good to go, with the advantage that you don't have to type the TCP/IP
address to get to AppleShare on the OS X machine.

After much trial and error, I managed to get a connection via ethernet between
my new (to me) G4 running 10.3.9 Panther and my old G3-upgraded PTP running
9.2.2 (with a Kensington 10/100 card). I am able to log into the OS X machine
from the 9.2.2 machine, mount drives on the desktop and transfer files.
Problem is that I can only make the connection when TCP/IP on the 9.2.2 machine is set to use the
ethernet card. Otherwise, under an enpty box labelled "Select a file server:", there's a
button labelled "Server IP Address ...". Actually, I think I had to use this button some
of the times (only some, not all, IIRC!) when I was using TCP/IP over ethernet, but I was able to
look up the IP number on the Panther's Network settings panel.*
Unfortunately, this means that I can't use my Internet dialup while I'm on my
local network!
Is there something I could be doing to allow AppleTalk over ethernet, or
anything functionally equivalent to it, at the same time that my 9.2.2 machine
is connected to the Internet via Remote Access?

* I was also able to change that number, or that on the 9.2.2 machine, which apparently didn't
cause problems since, presumably, those ports aren't connected to anything else in the universe!
(Parallel universes don't count, I hope!) I did have to make sure, though, that the IP numbers on
both ends of the ethernet connection were within the same "subnet" -- which I probably
could have done by setting the subnet mask to "0.0.0.0"!
