MacX is a product that runs under both A/UX and Macintosh OS.  It implements
X11r3 (I think - I am quoting from memory) and requires a minimum of
2 megabytes of memory (I think - IAQFM).  It works over a variety of
transport protocols, relying on the Connection Manager part of the 
Communications Toolbox for data connectivity.

Hope this helps.
