The next release of Berkeley Unix will indeed have an implementation
of OSI protocols, which are mostly being contributed from elsewhere.
IBM and the University of Wisconsin have contributed an implentation
of TP0 & TP4, CLNP, ESIS; negotations are proceeding with the University
of British Columbia concerning inclusion of their software implementation
of X.25 (and possibly contributions from another individual).  We are
counting on ISODE to provide user applications, including X.400 and X.500,
(which will be provided by UCL and University of Nottingham.

No documentation is available yet; things are still too much in a state
of flux.
