I have the Verizon e815 phone and a USB cable and have used it as a
modem to access their DUN (Dialup Networking) service which is
available to all customers at no extra charge, except for minutes, but
is quite slow.  I've written up a recipe for use on my web page,
    datix.us
under the tab Cphone/mdm.  This is for Fedora Core 6.  Hope it's helpful.

I don't have EVDO service here and am not interested in paying extra
for that.  DUN is OK for emergency use, and is universally available.
