Yes, wmodem is free. HTC included it on alot of phone, sometimes crippled.
The ppcgeeks link you mentioned above leads to the downloading ot the same set of files I am talking about. I couldn't get into the mobilesoftware link but appear to be same set of files as well
Perhaps someone here w/ TP2 and still have6.1 don't mind testing it out. I have a feeling that it might still work on TP2 w/ 6.1? If someone has TP2 w/ custom 6.5 rom don't mind trying it?
I can't say for sure but I do believe that it is possible because when I ran WModem on the TP2 my computer did detect the TP2 as HTC modem. It just that after I initiate the dial-in, it get stucked on the user verification screen shown on the pc. The phone itself does appear to initiate some sort of attempt to connect
Because of what I've seen, I have a feeling that HTC/Sprint might have changed something,possibly in registry. They've done some real shi#*y things like taking away the taskmanager at the top and hiding the owner'info from today screen, both ot these I've been able to get back with some work. I am sure there are more deVious stupid things they did to 6.5 which I've not got to
Like I said in another thread about all phone GPS are not equal. All tethering methods are not equal. For most people I agree that tethering w/ ICS or WModem, probably make no difference or probably easier to setup w/ ICs. However If anyone ever tether and takes advantage ot the benefits (and they are definitely a lot) of wmodem method, they would miss that.
The benefit of a non-NAT'ed public ip w/ WModem have lots of benefits esp w/ VPN and firewall.And should I even mention decreased latency and slightly fasten speed? (I confirmed this w/ testing to the same sites on DSLreports yesterday by connecting my old TP w/wmodem back on my acc.and then switching back to TP2 on my acc)
I don't think I am alone in seeing the benefit of wmodem method. If anyone else wants to know the advantage ot tethering w/ wmodem, see the link on my first post in this thread as well as this link:

If anyone knows of another way which offer the same benefits as WModem, let me know. Thnx
Edit: tried usbmodem (the prog mentioned at begin of mogul thread).Doesn't even put phone into modem mode. Computer detect TP2 as phone instead ot modem and trigger TP2 to ask what type of usb connection you want. So WModem is still closer as it does make TP2 looks like a modem to the computer, Now I need to Manually uninstall usbmodem as it refuses to uninstall
