The concern here is 6700 was not PAM support device and Sprint reportedly has no way to know whether you are tethering (which you shouldn't do under terms and conditions unless you have paid for PAM plan) or using data on your phone. On the other hand, 6800 is PAM aware device and Sprint can charge you if they have evidence that you are tethering. I think people here are discussing two different things. One is how to use 6800 for tethering without getting caught, and the other is how to tether using PAM rather than Sprint PCS connection since PAM seems to provide faster connection. For me, I'm more intereseted in the first issue since the speed is already acceptable for occasional emailing and web surfing on my latop, but certainly I don't like to be charged huge $$ for tethering.
