Well, I'll through my $.02 in.

Here's what we use:

GSS PCXview/16, X-server.
FTP Software's PC/TCP kernel only
Machines include 286@12 and original AT, 386@25

First of all, if you don't have any extended memory, forget it.  Two
xterms and a wm are all you'll get up.  2-4 megs will be fine, and 4
has been more than enough for anything and everything you could want.

Second, VGA or higher.  forget ega. (<-period).  Haven't seen it on a
DIGA or SVGA. (I'm using a 512k VGA and it's great).  Drawback is 16
colors only.

Use a fast ethernet card.  We use WD's 8013EBT (16bit) cards.  8bits
tend to be too-slow.

Fonts are local on the PC, and comes with satandard adobe sets.  I've
compiled all sorts of others w/o any problems (kana14, etc...).

These are the machines I've used to use as clients w/o any problems:
DEC5000, Ultrix 4.0 r176, XR3 and XR4
Sun 3/60, 3.5, XR3 (I think).
Sun SPARC, 4.0 XR4
VAX6000, Ultrix32 v3.1b rev10, XR?
and a slew of others.

Mind you, this is just a server.  No local crunching done.  

All in all, decent, relativelly cheap way to get some use out of
the old AT's we had laying around.
