Well, here's a list:

http://www.honeypots.net/honeypots/products

If you can actually tell them the name of the software then you're THE MAN.

I'm assuming that within the honeypot configs, you can pick which
services you'd want to be open. With that in mind, I don't think
there's any way of knowing what the actual software is. And even
assuming you know the OS, unless you're analyzing packets, the
honeypot should be able to "mimic" (to a certain extent) an IIS
server, it could be sitting on a BSD or any linux/unix variant box.

this one might require some social engineering...
