Thanks very much for your attachments.

It works for me if I don't already have a default gateway set.
There are 3 pppd options that control this:
nodefaultroute Don't touch it
defaultroute Set it if it doesn't exist
replacedefaultroute Set even if one already exists
If you use the last one, I don't know if the old default route will be
reset when pppd exits.

There are two modes that are available for modem support, and you are
likely using IpModem mode. You can tell which mode by the -v output of
pppob. It will say "Using IpModem mode" or "Using Serial mode"
depending what it detects.
IpModem mode just reads and writes to the USB endpoints that behave like
a modem, and there is no open or close logic for it. There might be
some close command that I'm missing.
If you want to try Serial mode, use the -s option on pppob. This mode
does have a close command, but it also ties up your device in Desktop mode.
It would be useful to know whether running "btool -t" right after
closing pppd affects the device.
Thanks again for your testing and sample files. I'll add them as
Verizon samples.
