In these modern times, probably yes. But, in the entire history of the
VIC-20, no.
A long time ago [in a galaxy far away ;-)], Commodore sold a classroom
network for the C64. Students' computers were connected to the teacher's
file-server through disk-drive cables. I don't remember if CBM wrote
networking software for VIC-20s, but obviously, those machines could be
plugged into that network.
Does anybody remember the details of that product?
