FWIW, there was an implementation of ISO - ISODE (the ISO development 
environment). UPenn was snail-mailing out 9-track tapes and 8mm 
cassettes back in the early 90's when I was there. I still have one of 
the enamel pins.

It implemented layers 3-6, and could be configured to run over X.25 - 
thus the possible confusion that X.25 was its L2.
