Sorry for delay: news was broken here for awhile.
You can upgrade your A/UX machine to run A/UX 2.0.1, which is shipping
in about a month or so (it's finished now, but in the pipeline), which
contains MacX 1.1 (a newer version) and then run whatever clients you
already have on your A/UX machine. (MacX only includes the server,
a font compiler, a built-in optional window manager, and a few other
goodies, but no clients. It also runs (same binary) on Macintosh OS.)
Or you can buy the X Window System for A/UX (version 2.1 is now shipping)
which contains MacX 1.1 and a complete set of X11R4 clients and a
good optimized X11R4 "native" server.
If you have further questions, please ask.
