If you want to run X applications on this system, you've only got one
option at this point-- you could get an X terminal or another X capable
system and remote display your VAX X clients to it.

I don't believe there's any hope of getting an X server running on the
SPX hardware any time soon, simply for the lack of technical
documentation available on the SPX hardware.  There's probably some
hope of getting X running on the mono framebuffers which are built
into the VAXstation 3100s, but that's been pending for... well a
couple of years now.  There's not a whole lot of developer-hours
available given the relatively small user community and the even
smaller developer community.
