I Learned It Online

I was extremely surprised with how easy it was to configure my Verizon EVDO connection on the USB727 from Pendrive Linux. You will want to start with the USB727 unconnected to your PC.

I am not positive that you have to do this but with Ubuntu you have to use the sudo command when entering all of the following commands, so I went ahead and switched to root.
$ su
You should be prompted to enter the root password, which on the default install is root.

Unload the usbserial serial driver.
# modprobe -r usbserial

Insert your USB727 and load the driver for the device. I am using the USB727, therefore my command looked like below. If you are using a different device, see the Sprint Mobile Broadband document to find your vendor and product id. Simply select the Linux option from the dropdown box and you can then use the PDF.
# modprobe usbserial vendor=0x1410 product=0x4100

# dmesg|grep -i ttyUSB
Should give you something similar to below.
[ 1863.832000] usb 2-1: generic converter now attached to ttyUSB0
[ 1863.836000] usb 2-1: generic converter now attached to ttyUSB1
[ 1863.836000] usb 2-1: generic converter now attached to ttyUSB2
[ 1863.840000] usb 2-1: generic converter now attached to ttyUSB3

Now you are ready to setup the dialup connection. Navigate to the `Configure Your Computer` menu option as seen in the screenshot below.
