Things are a little different for Ubuntu

On an Ubuntu box I needed to change my 1xEVDO files. Now /etc/ppp/peers/1xevdo look like this.

-detach
ttyACM0
115200
debug
noauth
defaultroute
usepeerdns
connect-delay 10000
user 5089547611@vzw3g.com
show-password
crtscts
lock
lcp-echo-failure 4
lcp-echo-interval 65535
connect '/usr/sbin/chat -v -t3 -f /etc/ppp/peers/1xevdo_chat'

And /etc/ppp/peers/1xevdo_chat looks like this.

TIMEOUT 10
ABORT 'NO CARRIER'
ABORT 'BUSY'
ABORT 'NO DIALTONE'
ABORT 'NO ANSWER'
ABORT 'ERROR'
SAY 'Starting CDMA modem script\n'
'' 'ATZ'
'OK' 'ATE0V1'
OK-AT-OK 'ATDT#777'
CONNECT \d\c

That seems to do the trick. This stuff was cribbed from an article at Linux.com. It seems to work a good bit better, actually, so I should probably try this on the FC5 box as well.
