Is it a new enough version?

On a similar note, I think I remember you saying this is an eMac? For a 
list of Macs that won't boot in OS 9 see 
<http://www.info.apple.com/kbnum/n86209> . If yours is on the list, 
you're out of luck.

Also, you say all the OS 9 stuff that came with your computer is in 
.pkg form? I thought that was true only for computers that won't boot 
OS 9. Otherwise I thought (based on no-first hand knowledge) it was in 
a .dmg file which could be burned to a CD to create a startup disk.

Anyway, one final note. I too have an older Mac running OS 9 that's 
primarily just a fax machine. IMO faxing is still something that works 
better in OS 9 due to the maturity of the fax software on that platform.
