The FAQ is always the best place to start.  Here's what's in
an older version of it (check the most recent one for updates):

   Planning:
 
      NONLIN   -- cs.umd.edu:/pub/nonlin (128.8.128.8)
                  Contact: nonlin-users-request@cs.umd.edu
                           nonlin-bugs@cs.umd.edu
 
      ABTWEAK  -- jupiter.drev.dnd.ca:pub/steve/Abtweak   
                  Contact: Steven Woods <woods@drev.dnd.ca>
 
      RHETORICAL -- cs.rochester.edu:/pub/knowledge-tools
                  Contact: Brad Miller <miller@cs.rochester.edu>
 
      SNLP     -- cs.washington.edu:/pub/snlp.tar.Z
                  Contact: weld@cs.washington.edu
                  Nonlinear planner.
 
      IDM      -- sauquoit.gsfc.nasa.gov (128.183.101.29)
                  Contact: idm-users@chelmsford.gsfc.nasa.gov
                  STRIPS-like planning.
 
      PRODIGY  -- Contact: prodigy@cs.cmu.edu
                  Integrated Planning and Learning System
 
      SOAR     -- ftp.cs.cmu.edu:/afs/cs.cmu.edu/project/soar/5.2/2/public/
                  Contact: soar-request@cs.cmu.edu
                  Integrated Agent Architecture
 
      MATS     -- Contact: kautz@research.att.com
                  Temporal constraints


NONLIN was the next-generation NOAH, and I believe SNLP is
the current state-of-the-art in this type of planner.  I'm
not familiar w/ the others.
