The X11 System for the Amiga works fairly well using the DECnet protocol
over serial line. Needs minimum 9600 baud though.
Since the X system for the Amiga is capable of running local clients as
well such as twm, olwm, and others you only need to actually connect
over serial the actual clients you can't move to the Amiga.
An A500 with 1M of RAM and a single floppy drive can be set up as
an x terminal that way.
