The SCTP home page (www.sctp.org) has a list of implementations.  Note that
I had to use Google's cache of the site -- I believe there was a Slashdot
article on SCTP this morning which may have taken down the site.

AIX, Solaris, HP and Cisco all support SCTP in their latest OS versions.
There are aslo a few different (non-free) implementations for Windows, and
at least one open-source implementation for Linux (http://www.openss7.org)
