Joe, Great that you got it working! Now to answer one question that you have: > Now, all I have to do is figure out how to disconnect. If you are using wvdial Press and hold Control Key then press C key <CTRL> + <C> and you will disconnect. If you are using other dialers, that depends on the dialer you are using, but as a last resort you can do a $ sudo ifconfig pppd down to stop connection too. Forwarded your message to list so that others that may have the verizon vm150 modem can use their modem without problems.
