That's not entirely true... even in the limited case of NetBSD/vax.
You can still remotely display X clients from the VAX, it's just that
there isn't yet a solid Xserver for NetBSD/vax.

David Brownlee and I actually got it compiled and running under the
1.4.1 release, but there was no mouse or keyboard support.  I'd imagine
the situation to mostly be the same today.  We were able to bring a
variety of X clients up onto the display though.  :-)

But yeah, effectively there's no useable Xserver for NetBSD/vax.  Remote
displaying stuff works marvelously well.
