Sai,
   Assuming you are trying to transmit through

Bill has recently worked through these issues and can likely help more
than me without comparable hardware.

BIll,
  Still intend to polish your draft below. But am overworked
Marv

>From Bill Randle
===============
I have a MotoQ9m cellphone by Motorola with Verizon as my data
provider, and you helped me to get online. I connect with a USB cable.
The Phone is  ID 22b8:7000 Motorola PCS. I sent the scanmodem file to
you and you said: Do:
$ sudo modprobe usb-serial
Then try detecting the cellphone with:
$ sudo wvdialconf  /etc/wvdial.conf
and report back.
That done, I next followed your directions to:,
So next:
$ sudo gedit  /etc/wvdial.conf
to enter the settings needed for dialout
Delete the ; < > symbols as you add in your personal info,
and cogent cell phone CONNECT codes.
Then dialout with:
$ sudo wvdial

I did edit the wvconf file as follows, resulting in this output.
OK
ATZ
OK
--> Sending: ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
--> Modem initialized.
--> Configuration does not specify a valid phone number.
--> Configuration does not specify a valid login name.
--> Configuration does not specify a valid password.
bill@bill-laptop:~$

[Dialer Defaults]
Init1 = ATZ
Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
Modem Type = USB Modem
Baud = 460800
New PPPD = yes
Modem = /dev/ttyACM0
ISDN = 0
; Phone = #777
; Password = vzw
; Username = mynumberhere@xxxxxxxxx

I had forgotten to delete the (;) before my phone, password and username.
After deleting them, I was able to get online, but only about 2
minutes per session, getting this error.
--> Disconnecting at Mon Jun  2 22:07:10 2008
--> The PPP daemon has died: Lack of LCP echo responses (exit code = 15)
--> man pppd explains pppd error codes in more detail.
--> I guess that's it for now, exiting
--> Provider is overloaded(often the case) or line problem.
--> The PPP daemon has died. (exit code = 15)
So I, .....
$ sudo gedit /etc/ppp/optiions
to try mods within the sections below.
#lcp-echo-interval             30
 (this was an active option) I just added the # sign in front of this line.
#lcp-echo-failure 4                (this was an active option) I just
added the # sign in front of this line.
I have used these directions  with open GEU, Knoppix, Ubuntu, several
latest versions.
egrep -v '#|^ *$' /etc/ppp/options are,
