It is my belief that this is intentionally unsupported.

I too had given up on controlling my OS 9 box from OS X. This works for me (thanks to JJ), going from OS X 10.2.6 to OS 9.1 via local network. While the Finder is generally available, don't forget that the target app must be running to receive events from remote machines.

using terms from application "Finder"
tell application "Finder" of machine "eppc://user:email@hidden"
activate
display dialog "It works for me."
end tell
end using terms from

Note: I have an application in my extensions folder named "ShareWay IP Personal Bgnd" that might be required. According to the description given by Conflict Catcher, it lets file sharing clients connect over TCP/IP. I don't know if it has any bearing on program linking.
