If you are using a local client 10g then you will always be running 10g
SQL*Plus. You can still use that to connect to your 9i instance (I'm
not clear on whether you are also having problems connecting to the 9i
instance or it's just the SQL*Plus version you are worried about?)
If you feel you really want to use 9i client then you will need to do a separate 9i installation on your local workstation as well but what is your reason for wanting to do so?

Oracle
