Configurations stuck in Internet Connect

Brand-new Intel MacBook Pro, 10.4.10:
Setting up a dialup account, we managed to create four configurations before we got one to work. Problem was, making any change to current configuration created a new one; we couldn't just edit the current config. and save.

Now, we cannot delete the three incorrect configurations; all four are present in Internet Connect -> Configurations -> Edit Configurations pop-up menu, but all are dimmed/unavailable for edit/delete, except the current/working config. Makes for a confusing dialup menu.....

Deleted <~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.internetconnect.plist> expecting all to vanish, but no such luck.

Trying to recreate the situation on a G4 running 10.4.10 and I encounter a completely different - dare I say - bug? Multiple/different configs are available to edit, but each seems to duplicate first config and ignore changes!

Newly created (G4 test) files include:
<~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.internetconnect.plist>
<~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.modemmenuextra.plist>
<~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.networkconnect.000a956677c0.plist>

Deleting all three prefs above removed all configs from Internet Connect on the G4 after restart; will that work on the Intel MacBook, too? I'd rather edit them as intended, if anybody knows a way to make 'em active/available.

Thank you, one and all for any suggestions.....

Dual MDD, Mac OS X (10.3.9), Five G4s (and counting)
