I've only heard of a couple. Marben in France claims to 
have an MSDSG implementation. The Wollangong group in
USA also claims that their transport bridge, when incorporated 
onto their OSI and TCP stack implemenations may be used as
an interworking unit (although see the previous discussion 
between myself and Dave Crocker on IP-CLNP interworking in this
notesgroup). I have also heard that Retix (USA) also has 
something, but this is unconfirmed.

Maybe you can post a list of the responses you receive once they
all come in.
