I used to use a 5740 and now have a 5750.  Since about FC5 all you have
to do is set up the modem device through system-config-network.  Define
a new modem, point it at /dev/ttyACM0, put the number to dial as #777,
the username your phone vzw com address and the password as vzw.  You're
done.

No messing with scripts or any of that silliness.
