Thanks Dan, you guys have me almost there.  

This looks much more promising.  Since I am using a 3rd party APN, I 

disabled CDMA/EVDO completely, and the qmi command line worked.  It

is not connecting still though - but it looks like a provisioned SIM

issue?  The SIM works on VZ for sure - with PPP I get an address, etc, 

but like I said, I am using a 3rd party (Wyless) APN on the VZ infrastructure.

Well, I guess technically that does not prove the SIM is provisioned since only LTE uses it - I will make sure they are properly provisioned with VZ / Wyless.
