We use Miranda here. It's not free but we've found it gives
good all round behaviour. It has it's quirks but.....

I beleive SML (Standard ML of New Jersey, version 66) is freely
available by FTP from research.att.com in dist/ml; there is also
a freely available implementation of LML (Lazy ML), but I am not
sure where it is kept.

It's kept at piggy.cs.chalmers.se.  The LML compiler also inludes a
Haskell compiler.

There is also an implementation of CAML, an ML variant based on the
categorical abstract machine, at nuri.inria.fr (128.93.1.26).  It has modules
with separate compilation, declarably lazy data structures, and built-in
interfaces to Maple, Postscript, LaTeX, and Yacc.  It is available by
anonymous ftp in /pub/lang/caml/V2.6-1.
