So far I am able to get as far as launching the program that asks for user name pass word, etc But it says at the bottom no usb modem and the dial button is greyed out. When I check in the control panel under phones and modems I see it listed there but just cant connect! Do I have to have a data plan setup on the phone (never had one) so there is no info in the phone for it to connect with.
Thank you for all your help, and this great site!

I believe you're going to want some sort of data plan. I don't know about Verizon...it's possible they might have some really expensive pay-as-you-go data plan, but I doubt it.
I would also recommend moving to an AKU 3.5 ROM (preferably a true WM6 ROM using either the new kitchen or RobMayer's Clean, NoJunk ROM (based on helmi_c's work)), as you get the "Internet Sharing" app, which is much easier to use than the old wireless modem app. It's easier to start up, and easier to work with your computer, as when you use it, your computer just sees the phone as a new network adapter, rather than a dial-up modem that must be started up.
There are others here that know quite a bit more than me, though. If someone else posts something in disagreement with what I just said, their answer is most likely more correct than mine.
