AmiWin
A shareware   Xwindows   server for Amiga by Holger Kruse.
AmiWin is available on   Aminet .
Although I haven't used it myself, several kind folks on the net have provided
some input.
AmiWin works with both local and remote xclients.
Most notable among the remote clients supported is NetScape. Since X-windows is
slow, a 14.4k line is pretty much unusable for running a remote graphics intensive
client such as NetScape.
Most notable among the local clients supported is Chimera which is another web
browser. Chimera supports forms and inlined-images, but probably doesn't support
all of the Netscape-isms.
Chimera can be started from inside AmiWin by adding Chimera to the menu by
modifying the X11:lib/x11/twm/system.twmrc file. Add something like:
  menu "LocalClients"
  {
    "Chimera"  f.exec "Chimera.script"
    "XV"       f.exec "XV.script"
    "XClock"   f.exec "run >NIL: XClock"
  }
Where Chimera.script is a small script that sets up proper task priority, and
stack size for Chimera before running it.
For running local clients such as Chimera you should use the ppipc transport and
open -display "local:0"
