I have eventually connected my box straight to the modem and:
1/ I am still getting timeouts to Yahoo (though they claim not to block us)
2/ I can at least use (tcp)traceroute and here are some logs. Can you
help me interpret them? Am I right in thinking that the connection
times out somewhere at yahoo border machines?

If I remeber correctly, this one is from tcptraceroute a.mx.mail.yahoo.com 25:
