Somehow your boot scripts got broken. They are not setting the hostname right (to localhost). Have you played with the networking settings maybe? Just try looking in the init scripts where the DISPLAY environment variable is set and hand set it to: 127.0.0.1:0.0 Or try to fix them correctly

If you are not familiar with ISDN, be aware that any TA you use will need a "U" interface (two-wire interface to the Telco). If your TA has an ST interface you will need an NT1 adapter to convert the Telco 2-wire interface to a 4-wire ST interface. Hint: NT1 = $150.00. I only mention this
