I've toyed with this a little... not to the point of running anything, but to the point of looking for the docs. There are ISO documents covering the protocol itself. The biggest mess seems to be the 802.2 LLC state machine, which would be necessary to use it (but which would buy some neat extras at the same time). There is a current project under way on the Samba site. I don't know it's status; you should be able to download their project file.
