I use the pl2303 usb cable (the non straight-through cable) with a
vx4400, and configure it with the following:

/etc/ppp/peers/verizon:

updetach
ttyUSB0
remotename verizon
230400
noauth
novj
novjccomp
defaultroute
usepeerdns
crtscts
user 10digitphone#@vzw3g.com
show-password
crtscts
lock
connect '/usr/sbin/chat -v -f /etc/ppp/peers/verizon_chat'
disconnect '/usr/sbin/chat -v -f /etc/ppp/peers/verizon_unchat'

/etc/ppp/peers/verizon_chat:

TIMEOUT 10
ABORT   'BUSY'
ABORT   'NO ANSWER'
ABORT   'NO CARRIER'
SAY     'Starting Verizon connect scriptn'

''      'ATZ'
OK    'ATE0V1'

SAY 'Dialing...n'
OK  'ATD#777'
CONNECT ''

And use the pon/poff fronteds to control the connection under debian,

I always get a little confused about what settings to do on the phone
(wait for data call?)...

You should see some debug stuff in the kernel messages when you
connect the cable, otherwise check your kernel config to make sure you
have drivers for your cable.
