Depending on your definition of "free", there are:
- Miami:
Simple-setup shareware stack, 30 minute usage limitation (plenty
for transfering a kernel, but annoying still). Requires MUI,
but should work under 2.0
http://www.nordicglobal.com/miami.html
- AmiTCP:
To my knowledge the oldest stack, can be complex and bothersome
and might be unsupported (official site, www.nsdi.fi, no longer
responds). Commercial/shareware.

- AmigaNOS:
Don't know much about it, but it's supposedly free. Doesn't seem
to use bsdsockets.library, so getting anything but the bundled
apps to talk to it could be difficult to impossible.

- Genesis:
Relatively new, unknown to me. Seems promising. Uses MUI.

When I was still actively using AmigaDOS, I used AmiTCP, and before that Miami (until
it became time-limited when unregistered).
Another option might be to use NetBSD bootblocks on the partition, so as to avoid
AmigaDOS involvment at all (except the Kickstart).
