At Xhibition '89, I saw a DOS based X server program from VisionWare.
It's basically an X server running any X applications from a remote
host.  The product PC-XVision is a Microsoft Windows-based X server
which allows X clients running on a networked computer to display on
an IBM-compatible PC or PS/2, at the same time as local DOS programs.

It looks fairly good.  The feature I liked the most is running both
MS-Window application and X-clients at the same time side-by-side.

Their number is (612) 377-3627.
