The end result is now I get a popup windows that offers the following:
"Error Code: 11, PPP Connection Error".

Tech Support at Verizon thought "it might be a Network Issue"...
I had the same issue and they told me the same thing (so at least their consistant).

The Tech swore that there was something hung in the switch with my network connection and it looked like I was trying to use a different device to access the network a second time. They opened a ticket and said they would contact me when they were ready to have me re-test,... yeah, right,... like that's going to happen,... that was Sat (31-5-2008 ),... they have yet to call,... but I'm working again.

I decided to activate my VX6800 using vzw.com equipment activation with my ESN to see if I could get DATA working on my Mogul. I figure if it's on their end, neither would work, right?

Well my mogul fired right up and worked fine,... so I switched right back to my VX6900 Vogue using VZW and the ESN,... well it worked too. So I don't know if they straightened something out or if by cycling it through the activation, reprogramming (*22899), and soft reset it cleared itself up,... been running just fine since Sunday (1-6-2008 ).

One last thought, what makes me think it's important for the "Activation" of an old phone before you modify the RADIO on the new one goes back several years to hacking Moto RZRS on VZW,... if you follow the HowardForums experts, their instructions will tell you to move your line to another phone while conducting extensive hacking. This was to us UI's from other Carriers (like Telus - which was java enabled) on a VZW RZR,... gosh, I can't believe I used to spend hours doing that!!
