Rod,

There is the Compaq Secure Web Browser, which is a horribly ancient 
compile of netscape? Mozilla?  can't remember at the moment.

http://h71000.www7.hp.com/openvms/products/ips/cswbs/cswbs.html

It barely runs on my Dec 3000 w/ 192 MB of memory.

There are VMS builds of lynx/links out there for VMS which run much 
better, but as with all terminal based text web browsers are of dubious 
utility.
