Summary: 

My understanding is that an XNS implementation will be included as part of
4.3BSD.  The low levels (through SPP) of that implementation were done
by Keith Sklower <sklower@berkeley.arpa> based to some extent on a similar
implementation by the U. of Maryland; it is, of course, integrated into
the socket mechanism, and supports SPP, raw IDP, plus the XNS error and
routing protocols.  High levels of XNS support, including a Courier compiler,
client applications for Printing, GAP (telnet), and Filing (FTP), and
a GAP server are from Cornell U. <jqj@cornell.arpa>.  Interpress support
for ditroff is available from Xerox (contact DMurray.wbst@xerox.arpa for
information, I guess).

If you can't wait for 4.3BSD and are willing to do a lot of kernel hacking
to install the millions of fixes needed, you can get a slightly incompatible
implementation from Maryland (contact Mark Weiser <mark@maryland.arpa>).
