   Yes. It's available from Apple. It costs $295. It is 
order number M0108LL/A. It includes everything you need to
run MacX under MacOS, and, I believe, A/UX multifinder as well.

   Basically, you get an XR3 server in the form of a Mac application,
all the standard BDF X fonts, MacTCP, and the Communications Toolbox with
the TCPtool.

   MacX converts the BDF fonts and any MacOS fonts into a form usable
by X clients. It also supports 8-bit color. 

   Also consider eXodus, an X R4 server by White Pines Software,
(603)886-9050. It has most of the MacX features plus some of its own,
and it includes the software to run on DECNET as well as MacTCP.
