Thanks James. But that wasn't it. I did not mention it before, but my 
network interfaces are brought up before xend. I gave disabling xend a 
try anyways just to make sure, but the results was negative...
I have however remarked another detail that I believe might be linked to 
(or the cause of?) my problem.
In dom0 when trying to bring up my adsl connection I get the following 
line before the first error occurs:
Jul 17 00:08:21 gaia pppd[3494]: Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/pts/1

This line puzzles me because in four years I have never seen 
"/dev/pts/1" used to connect to my adsl modem. It was ALWAYS 
"/dev/pts/0"! Of course this might a perfectly appropriate renaming of 
devices as happens a lot with xen but...
Can anybody shed any light on this?
