The only one I know of is Hewlett-Packard's Rocky Mountain BASIC for unix.
You can get it as a stand-alone non-unix version as well.

It is one of the best BASICs I have ever used, very well suited for
scientific applications, with complex numbers, powerful array operations,
and an excellent graphics command set.  It was originally developed for
instrumentation control through an IEEE-488 (GPIB) interface, and it
excels in that area.

However, I believe it will only run on HP Workstations.

A company called TransEra makes a clone version of this BASIC that runs
under MSDOS on 80386 computers.
