Look at Dell and Interactive as well.

nope.  Dell SVR4 comes with X11R4 and ISC is shipping X11R3 with
some of their packages.

Dell with all 3, ISC with C and bourne

Yes

Yes - Dell SVR4 comes with everything but the kitchen sink - 
Dell's SVR4 is 1295 list and comes with DOS Merge - and lots of
applications compiled to run under their UNIX.
