It would probably be an excess, but look at Xkernel.

yup, as long as there is sufficient resources <memory, etc> for the
sparc1 to do X in a manner that would be satifactory to her. X
multi-platform windowing system, it could and should make the trasition
seemless. < i'm pretty sure ,anyways:) >

Load Solaris 2.5.1 and CDE and read answer book Solaris CDE Installation =
page 28=20
section called using Workstations as X Terminals.

Seriously, yes. SunOS or Solaris? The command's still the same
'/usr/openwin/bin/X -query hpxserver'
The only difference is whether you place it in /etc/rc.local or
/etc/rc2.d/S99xterminal.

yes, although it will be slower that any modern X terminal.
