FastLynx is still alive and kicking:

I still use it to copy old stuff from non-network DOS systems. They have both
Windows and DOS drivers. BTW: It's very fast (it can use the parallel
"printer" port for high speed transfers as well as the serial port).

I am moving files from old Bernoulli disks to a
PC. I've got an old
version of Laplink that works under DOS 3.3
MSDOS Interlink would probably do what you wanted - it allows a drive on
the remote machine to be mapped to a drive letter on the local IIRC.
Think it didn't turn up until DOS 6 though (possibly DOS 5).
No reason that you can't boot the right version of DOS off a floppy
containing the Interlink software though. Given sufficient disk space,
pull everything off the Bernoulli to local disk, then boot into the
later version of DOS and throw everything across...
Of course if you want to use the Bernoulli as a remote drive, without
touching any hard disk storage on the machine containing your Bernoulli,
then you may have problems...
