from the FAQ:
12. Where can I obtain a NeXT version of X-Windows?
  ...[X11R3 from MIT punted]...

  McGill University (der Mouse) has produced a beta version of
  an X11R4 server named mouse-X available via ftp from 132.206.1.1.
  cd to X/XNeXT and fetch one of the files with names beginning
  with "distribution".  This version only uses NeXTstep for keyboard
  and mouse events.  This version does not work under 2.0

  Pencom Software of Austin, TX has announced and has a working
  beta version of X11R4 called "co-Xist". A release version is
  scheduled for  March 1991.  Color is planned in a future release.
  Cost has been announced at $149 educational, $249 commercial.
  Co-Xist runs inside of a NeXTstep window.  The Motif window
  manager and libraries are also available from Pencom.  Contact
