Hi Marco:

Here is a function that forms both symmetric and general Toeplitz 
matrices:

toeplitz <- function (x, sym=T) {
    if (!is.vector(x)) 
        stop("x is not a vector")
    n <- length(x)
    if (!sym) { 
    if (!n%%2) stop("length of vector must be odd")
    n2 <- (n+1)/2
    A <- matrix(NA, n2, n2)
    mat <- matrix(x[col(A) - row(A) + n2], n2, n2)
    }
    else {
    A <- matrix(NA, n, n)
    mat <- matrix(x[abs(col(A) - row(A)) + 1], n, n)
    }
    mat
}

Best,
Ravi.
