There is a parallel-port network interface driver but the 
performance is not stellar.  With the price of real NIC's these 
days you could get much better performance even with a cheap 
10-base-T ethernet connection.

If you're just looking for a quick way to transfer stuff from one
machine to another you can run Laplink in a DOS session under 
OS/2.  The "INTERLNK" program that Microsoft included with MS-DOS
v6.x also works in an OS/2-DOS session.
