???? What do you mean "The BIOS is too old"? When is it dated?
Some of my machines running OS.2 have very old BIOSes (before LBA).
Anyway, OS/2 only normally uses the MB BIOS during initial loading to
access the hard disks. During the load sequence it replaces the real
mode MB BIOS with a protected mode BIOS (it's called ABIOS by IBM).

Nope, not that I'm aware of :-(. The only civilised way to network
computers is using Ethernet (cheapest) or Token Ring.
