[X-Newbies] Help with 'Internet Connect' app

Dear all,

I'm trying to connect to the 'Net using a CDMA phone, so far 
unsuccessfully. I have the cable (CA-42), the phone (Nokia 6585), the 
cable driver, and the Nokia driver (nokiaCDMAhacked), the ISP account 
name and the ISP password.

In trying to trace where the failure is I ran into a new problem with 
Internet Connect. 2 problems, actually.

1) It would crash every time I try to open a 'connection log' window.
2) I can't erase an old configuration. I made a copy of it, I can make a 
new config, but I can't erase this one particular config.

I tried switching to my Admin personality, and I CAN open the Connection 
Log window without the app crashing. I still can't delete this one 
config, though.

So, my question is, how do I fix this? Maybe I just need to delete the 
Prefs file? Where is the Prefs file?

I tried deleting the 'com.apple.internetconfig.plist', 
'com.apple.internetconfigpriv.plist', com.apple.internetconnect.plist', 
and 'com.apple.modemmenuextra.plist' Still no connection.

Incidentally, every time I try to connect, the Nokia would show the 
"sending and receiving" window, but then disconnect because "there was 
no response from the PPP server. Please check your settings." The reason 
I was trying to delete the config in Internet Config was to start with a 
clean slate, so to speak, when I ran into the crashing problem.

So, any ideas on fixing the 'Internet Connect' app?

I'm on a Mac Mini 1.42GHz with Sys X.4.

Thanks in advance. Oh, and Happy New Year
