AOL uninstall issue

[galago]

Recently while moving I was "in between" ISPs, and made the fatefully bad decision of trying to use one of those free AOL CDs for dial-up. After I got my ISP back I tried using the provided Un-install function on the CD. After that I did a quick search and discovered that the installer had left a bundle in /System/Library/Extensions called com.aol.net.ppp. I deleted this directory from OS 9, but then back in X, Internet Connect tells me "An incorrect PPP option has been set. Please verfify your settings and try again."
When I called AOL support they at first denied that the installer had put the files there, then claimed they didn't support it because it was in a system directory, then told me to ask my new ISP, then HUNG UP!
Does anyone have a clue how to fix my dialup settings?
The Internet Connect Log says:
Mon Jun 30 18:08:20 2003 : Couldn't load plugin com.aol.net.ppp
when the file is missing. How do I convince Internet Connect that it doesn't need this file?

Open the System Preferences, click on Network, click on Configure, change to 'Using PPP'. Close the pane, it will probably ask you to save settings, which is OK, Now you should be able to setup your Internet Connect for your new ISP (I assume you are staying with a dial-up connection) If you have settings that belong in the network pane as well, the Internet Connect would give you that opportunity.

Check for presence of "postoptions", which is yet another item that the AOL installer buries in the system but won't remove during deinstall. If it's there, send it to digital heaven.
( ::angel:: I know, the answer comes late, but more people than galago in 2001 or me during this week seem to run into this issue, with seemingly no end to it, so here's the solution that just worked for me.)
