        I think that IBM has announced support for X11 in conjunction with
their port of AIX to the System 370 series i.e. 43xx, 3090, 9370.  This will
run under the VM operating system, but the AIX and X11 ports are not scheduled
for release until March 1989!  I also recall some mention of X support for
their newest release of the TCP/IP product for VM.  Since I don't have my
announcement letters at hand and I never work on these systems all of this info
is from memory so parts maybe incorrect, but the March 1989 is right for AIX.
If you would like further info send me a message and I can go digging in my
files for the announcement letters.
