Verizon as far as Dial-Up goes for Linux , it's either $Windows or nothing.
I have installed a lot of Dial-up on Linux from a number of different 
ISP , but on Verizon I failed.
I could connect to their server but something had to do with 
authorization, got no error messages, to give me a Ideal what was going on.
