Ubuntu does CellModem

I found a lot of hard ways of doing this online, editing PPP Chat scripts, etc.. This is the Easy Way To Ubuntu Using a Cell Modem using a Verizon USB727 (Airprime) USB connected cell modem.

"...Keeping the sales droids from trying to configure WiFi or networking while at a clients location: Priceless."

I have it connecting at system boot-up if it's plugged in. I just poked around for PPP utilities and saw "pppconfig" ran it and it worked, first time.
