Hussein, thanks for your tips. Tried some time later and it worked fine, it seems there was a problem with the dialup connection (a problem that remained so much time that it seemed a thing to report ;)). Nonetheless the debug options below were left on, and we'll further report if the problem persists.
Thanks again.
