Well, there's Lynx.... :-)

The VMS version comes as part of the standard Unix distribution. You can get it 
from ftp2.cc.ukans.edu in /pub/lynx. I think VMS executables are available 
there as well. (If you can't find .EXE files, try niord.shsu.edu, which I think 
does have them.

There are a couple of other, SMG-based, WWW browsers, but I don't have details 
on them. I remember one of them being available for testing by telnetting to
vms.huji.ac.il, where I think you logged in as WWW.

But Lynx is the only one I've used, and it works fine. 
Version 2.3 is a release version, but you could pick up the beta test version 
2.3.1, which also has direct WAIS support in it.
