It looks more complex than it is. Open a terminal run:

sudo gedit

Paste in the following and change the below line to your alltel account

user 10_digit_phone_number@alltel.net

ttyACM0
115200
debug
noauth
defaultroute
usepeerdns
connect-delay 10000
user 10_digit_phone_number@alltel.net
show-password
crtscts
lock
lcp-echo-failure 4
lcp-echo-interval 65535
connect '/usr/sbin/chat -v -t3 -f /etc/ppp/peers/1xevdo_chat'

and save the file as /etc/ppp/peers/1xevdo

Next open gedit again, make the same change as above and save the file as /etc/ppp/pap-secrets

10_digit_phone_number@alltel.net	*	alltel

next open gedit again paste in the following and save the file as
/etc/ppp/peers/1xevdo_chat

ABORT 'NO CARRIER'
ABORT 'ERROR'
ABORT 'NO DIALTONE'
ABORT 'BUSY'
ABORT 'NO ANSWER'
#'' ATZ
#OK-AT-OK ATDT#777
#TIMEOUT 45
#CONNECT \d\c 
'' 'AT'
'OK' 'ATE0V1&F&D2&C1&C2S0=0'
'OK' 'ATE0V1'
'OK' 'ATS7=60'
'OK' 'ATDT#777'

and lastly use gedit to add the following section to
/etc/network/interfaces

iface ppp0 inet ppp
	provider 1xevdo

Then when you run:

sudo ifup ppp0

it should connect and to disconnect do:

sudo ifdown ppp0

grifftology@Grifftology:~$ sudo ifup ppp0
/usr/sbin/pppd: In file /etc/ppp/peers/1xevdo: unrecognized option 'ttyACM0'
Failed to bring up ppp0.
grifftology@Grifftology:~$
