At this year's Hannover (Germany) fair there has been a demonstration of
experimental X.400 systems by Bull, ICL, GEC, Nixdorf, Siemens
and others talking to each other. 
The base system for this was mostly EAN but also some inhouse developments. 

I know that german computer manufacturers have X.4xx products in
the pipeline. The European Comunity sponsors developments of such
things and ISO networking stuff.

There are ISO transport implementations for Unix around.
Even some stuff that is supposed to run under Berkeley sockets.
Unfortunately most of this is not available. Neither commercially
nor otherwise.....

Not to my knowledge.
They have bought a centralized system that looks much like MCI mail.
I guess it's the same thing. They PLAN to have it speak X.4xx.
