The question was about "not supporting"

not about any text browser that are available....

IE6 with ActiveX disabled. That's probably the most common case you'll
come across, of browsers that won't do ajax.

Lynx is a browser that does not support Ajax thus directly answers the
question about "not supporting".

Don't forget about users with disabilities. As recent survey
demonstrates
(<http://webaim.org/projects/screenreadersurvey2/#javascript>), a
noticeable percentage of screen reader users browse with Javascript
disabled.

And of course there are browsers that _do support_ Javascript (and
possibly have it enabled) but are behind (corporate) firewalls/proxies
which strip SCRIPT elements.

And another common case you will come across is lousy libraries (e.g.
jQuery) that failed to account for it.
