Apropos the connection from 8.6 to X, Macworld Weekly offered the 
following some time back... I have not been able to make it work. 
Mayhaps you should try...

Tip: Let the Connection Be Unbroken

If you've ever been slapped with the "The connection to this
server has been unexpectedly broken" message when you've
attempted to establish contact between one Mac running Mac OS 9
and another Mac running Mac OS X, make sure that the OS 9 Mac has
an IP address assigned to it.

Barring that, you can access the Mac OS X Mac by entering its IP
address in the Server IP Address field. There are two ways to do
this. From the Chooser, select AppleShare, click the Server IP
Address button, enter the IP address in the resulting window, and
press Connect. Or, you can use the Network Browser --  select
Connect to Server from the first pop-up menu (the one with the
globe on it) and enter the IP address in the resulting window and
press Connect.
