Well, given that entire interactive desktop computer systems were also
build around 8080As, even a few years earlier than that..
Quite true. It was a bit too early for a T-11-based terminal then...so they went with the next best small item. ;)
I like the design of the LA120's board.

The LA120 was the de facto console terminal for the VAX-11/78*s. One reason
why I have three; albeit, one has been cannibalized for parts.
I only have one!
I'm sure Dave could spare another, though...;)
I've ordered a replacement supply until I can get a 'scope to poke at the timer output/trigger inputs on the H7110.

Well I speak to machines with the voice of humanity.
I'm fairly certain (though have not verified) that the ONLY interface
available on the LA120 family is serial. The LA180 uses a much more
system-friendly LP[v]11 or LS11 interface. That may be the
difference...target market, etc.
RS-232 and 20mA current loop. I saw nothing about parallel in the docs.

to run OpenVMS X11 apps on my 17" MacBookPro OS X 10.5.8 after launching X
server on the Mac and setting security preferences to allow network clients.
$ SET DISPLAY/CREATE/NODE=192.168.2.100/TRANSPORT=TCPIP
$ MCR DECW$PUZZLE
You *may* need to set your X server security preference to NOT authenticate
the connection. Restart X11 on your Mac if you disable authentication.
Doing an xhost + basically disables any authentication. But he is
tunneling X over SSH, which in itself might cause interesting effects
here. Not sure why he wants to do that, but anyway.
In that case, the questions I asked about architecture, VMS version and
TCPIP are even more import.

Well I speak to machines with the voice of humanity.
After running X -ac from a terminal window (X was closed before) I was able to use SET DISPLAY/CREATE/... and then RUN without problems. I did not connect with ssh -X or ssh -Y (in fact, being on a "secure" LAN, I used telnet)
I am aware that it is not the best policy to simply run an X server without any authentication on any network; but I think it would at least be useful for some diagnostics.

Sampsa, try what Brian suggested, in actually talking X directly over TCP/IP instead, and see if that don't work better perhaps?
Also, could you report what your display is actually set to when you ssh in?
