Many other sites list SIP implementations:
A variety of sources publish reviews of SIP products, e.g., Avaya, Siemens, Zultys
A picture gallery of SIP hardware illustrates some of these.
See also a list of test-related documents such as PICS. sip_scenario can translate SIP call flows into pictures.
Windows 2000 supports SRV records through its DnsQuery() interface.

Indigo Software has CPL implementations for both client and server sides (CPL "editor" and CPL "server") that can be coupled to a SIP UA and a SIP proxy, respectively. They are also working on an implementation of SIP-CGI.
Columbia University's sipd server handles sip-cgi and CPL. The sipc UA can upload cgi and CPL scripts.
Institut für Kommunikationsnetze, TU-Wien is developing a service platform based on servlets.
Hughes Software Systems SIP Server provides a CPL engine. "To optimize performance, the SIP server converts raw XML into an internally optimized sequential execution format which results in significant performance gain over executing XML scripts for each service invocation."
