There was a large, national government network that was purely CLNP at that time.  This network drove the development of ISO-IGRP and IS-IS within IOS.  I'm sorry I can't name names, but this can be corroborated with Dave Katz.

In addition, there were a number of companies that were actively deploying CLNP in a pilot mode in order to understand it.  Most of this was to comply with governmental directives.  AFAIK, no one else was doing it in a truly mission critical way.
